Tuesday, October 2, 1877

Louisville 10, St. Louis 7

The Grays jumped to a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning, and never relinquished that lead, despite a couple challenges from St. Louis. A relatively easy victory for Louisville.

Chicago 9, Cincinnati 0

Chicago made up for their defeat of the previous day by routing the hapless Reds. Tom Carey, Jim O'Rourke and Dave Rowe each had three hits for Chicago.

Standings:

Chicago 36-21 (2 games left)
Louisville 36-22 (2 games left)

And just like that, we are down to the final two games between Chicago and Louisville. If Louisville can win them both, they will be the 1877 National League champions. If Chicago can win either, they will retain their crown.
