Bells Get Clutch Win Versus Boston
Philadelphia registered a win at Independence Grounds by beating the Boston Brahmins, 5-4. Pitcher Dave Appling was one reason why the Bells triumphed. Appling got the win, improving to 6-6. He gave up 11 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. He allowed 4 runs. Boston, with the loss, is still a stout 12-5.

James Epperson was the walk-off hero for Philadelphia. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bells second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This game had its share of tense moments," Appling said, postgame.
