Unions third baseman Steve Monson put his stamp on his team's 9-7 win over the Chicago Cyclones. Monson was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs for Philadelphia in the contest. Bancroft King, the winner, goes to 3-4. He allowed 7 runs on 12 hits, with no walks and 4 strikeouts over 9 innings. The Unions, now 5-11, have not found much traction so far in 1883.

Philadelphia used the clutch hitting of Leo Showalter to capture the win. The right fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Unions the lead, 5-4. For the game, Showalter had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

Showalter told a Philadelphia Citizen reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
