Spiders Sneak Past Colonels, 9-8
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Jake Virtue, the Cleveland Spiders defeated the Louisville Colonels, 9-8. Virtue went 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Spiders. Cleveland pitcher Sid Kitson got the win, upping his record to 12-12. James Burke got the loss. The 7th-place Spiders now have a win-loss record of 31-48.

In the bottom of the ninth, Ed McFarland had a chance to deal the knockout blow. And he did, punching a run-scoring single to center off Louisville pitcher James Burke.

In postgame remarks, Spiders manager Robert Armstrong praised Virtue. "Guesses makes my job a whole lot easier."
