Westerners Get Hard-Earned Win
Philadelphia got a terrific performance from pitcher Thomas Goss, but it wasn't enough to beat the Indianapolis Westerners. Indianapolis won the Western Grounds contest, 5-4. Goss threw 8.1 innings allowing 5 runs for the losing team. The Unions fall to 5-8 and continue their uninspiring start to the 1887 season.

In the bottom of the ninth, with one out and the game tied, 4-4, 27-year old right-handed pitcher Doug Crockett won it for Indianapolis. With a runner on 3rd, Crockett hit a 2-2 fastball from Thomas Goss for a run-scoring single, giving his team the 5-4 win.

"The crowd was raucous," said Crockett.
