Their was some bad news for starting pitcher Ed Cushman as he saw his season ended early due to injury. He ruptured his ulnar collateral ligament and will miss 10 months.
The team claimed Left Fielder Silver Flint from the Detroit Wolverines via waivers.
The wins were a team performance for the Red Stockings as there were few great performances. The best we could find was First Baseman John Morrill who managed 23 hits from 59 at bats in 21 games (14 as a started). He scored 17 runs and 14 RBI's for an average of .390
