Chicago White Stockings (8-3) at Louisville Grays (8-2)
Chicago traveled to Louisville for the first time this week and came into the opening game trailing the Grays by 1 1/2 games. Chicago took the first game on Thursday by an 8-5 score, and that meant this Saturday game would determine who would leave the matchup in first place in the National League.
The game ended up being completely dominated by Levi Meyerle, Chicago's star third baseman. He went 6 for 6 in the game, with a double, a triple, two runs scored and two driven in as the White Stockings jumped out to a huge lead, nearly lost it, then held on for the victory.
