Giants Win Thriller, 5-4
New York picked up a win at Polo Grounds 1890-1910, bumping off the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, 5-4. Pitcher Jack Sharrott was a major reason the Giants emerged victorious. The Giants sit in last place in the National League with a record of 16-40.

Yale Murphy was the walk-off hero for New York. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Giants pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Sharrott.
