Victory Over Westerners Takes Philadelphia to 11-4
The Philadelphia Unions picked up a win at Western Grounds, downing the Indianapolis Westerners, 6-3. On the mound for Philadelphia was right-hander Thomas Goss, who played a pivotal role in the win. Goss got the win, improving to 6-0. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. He allowed 3 runs. Philadelphia, now 11-4, has played well in the early going.

Philadelphia used a well-timed hit by Mike Loughlin to capture the win. The left fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Unions ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"Felt great, felt really good," said Goss.
