June 11, 1877
Louisville Grays (10-3) at Chicago White Stockings (11-3)
Chicago won both of the previous games between the top two clubs this season, so a win for Chicago would mean the White Stockings would be responsible for 75% of the Grays' losses. It is increasingly looking like the outcome of this matchup will determine which club will win the 1877 pennant.
As it turned out, Asa Brainard pitched a masterpiece to allow Chicago to make it 3 for 3 on the season against Louisville. There was a cloud hanging over the win, though - Dick Higham was injured in the game and there's currently no word on how long he'll be out.
