Chicago White Stockings (13-5) at Hartford Dark Blues (3-10)
A day after their narrow win over Boston, Chicago headed to Brooklyn to take on the last-place Dark Blues. (Remember, this season they were known as "Hartford of Brooklyn.") They had an opportunity to get a game ahead of Louisville with a victory, and playing against a terrible Hartford club seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Chicago was able to handle Hartford relatively easily, as Brainard allowed only five hits in the game and the White Stockings picked up the easy victory. With the win, Chicago pulled a full game ahead in the National League.
