The 1884 Maroons: Just Another Win

Sunday, August 5, 2012

The St. Louis and Kansas City Unions closed their championship series in St. Louis yesterday afternoon.  Voss and Baldwin formed the battery for the Kansas Citys, and a first-class team they proved to be.  Voss' pitching was very effective up to the eighth inning.  At that point he was hit quite hard, the home team earning 2 of the 3 runs they then scored.  The best feature of the game was the fine outfielding of Black, who made three very pretty catches.
