Provincials Topple Clippers with Late Rally
Led by Merritt Hunter, the Toronto Provincials defeated the Cleveland Clippers, 5-4. Hunter was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Provincials. The Clippers drop to 5-5 and continue their mediocre start to the 1887 season.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Hunter hit a fastball from Dan Hicks for a solo home run. The Provincials, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Hunter said.
