Chicago White Stockings (12-5) at Boston Red Stockings (7-6)
Chicago and Louisville remained tied for first, and Boston and Cincinnati were very much still in the hunt this early in the season. With this game, Chicago would move either a half-game ahead or a half-game behind idle Louisville.
Chicago had a four-run lead going into the bottom of the ninth, then Boston's first three batters reached base and they had the tying run at the plate with no one out. However, Chicago was able to settle things down to escape with the win and first place.
