August 27, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Chicago White Stockings 40-14
Philadelphia Athletics 34-17
New York Mutuals 31-16
Hartford Dark Blues 27-21
Boston Red Caps 21-31
Louisville Grays 20-34
St. Louis Brown Stockings 17-35
Cincinnati Reds 15-37

Chicago's winning streak is now at 20 games and counting. It seems they have feasted on their fellow western teams enough to eke out a National League pennant, unless Philadelphia and New York are able to turn things around quickly.

One fascinating game this week: in a game at New York, the Boston Red Caps entered the top of the ninth inning down 8-2. They promptly rattled off six runs to tie the game, then won it in the 10th, 11-8. A bright spot on a dark season for Boston.

Next week the National League teams take a week-long break in the schedule, so the next weekly report will take place two weeks from now.
