Chicago White Stockings (12-4) at Boston Red Stockings (6-6)
Going into the Saturday games on this mid-June day, Chicago and Louisville had identical 12-4 records. While Chicago visited Boston as part of its first east coast trip of the year, Louisville hosted the Cincinnati Reds.
Cal McVey, who's been on a hot streak to take him into the league lead in batting, had three hits, two runs scored and two driven in as Boston took the game from Chicago to go over .500 for the season. Louisville also lost (by a 25-9 score!) to keep things tied atop the league.
