What a game!

An amazing pitching duel between Three-Finger Brown and Charlie Bender was scoreless through eight. Then the Cubs scored two in the 9th, and the Superbas matched it! Then Tim Jordan hit a walk-off home run in the 10th to give Brooklyn the 3-2 win!

Of course, what could be a bigger issue than this single game was Mordecai Brown leaving with an unspecified injury. We await word.

Good job to Jack Warhop for keeping the Superbas in the game as they only managed one hit in the first seven innings. They made up for it in the 8th, scoring five times on the way to a 5-3 win over the Cubs.

That is five wins in a row for Brooklyn and they now trail the league-leading Cubs by only one game.
