June 23, 1878 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Cincinnati Reds 14-8
Chicago White Stockings 14-9
Boston Red Caps 12-6
Indianapolis Blues 11-11
Milwaukee Grays 8-15
Providence Grays 4-14

Nothing much was decided this week, as Cincinnati and Boston split their two-game series, and Chicago took two of three from Milwaukee to give them a 3-3 record over the two-week, six-game series. This probably hurts the White Stockings, since this was an opportunity for them to make up ground. Then again, Chicago is 3-0 against Boston this year, so they aren't exactly worried about a showdown. This week Boston will try to improve on that record as they travel to the western metropolis for three games, while Cincinnati will play four games on four consecutive days in Indianapolis.
