In the second year of the Players League, the Baltimore Terrapins came in first place in a 16 team division, 1 1/2 games better than the Columbus Solons. With a 91-59 record the top seeded Terrapins took on the second seeded Solons for the Championship.
With an average offense featuring outfielder Mike Tiernan, catcher Pat Carroll, and outfielder Joe Knight, along with an aging real life Hall of Famer, Cap Anson, pitching was the Terrapins forte.
Fred Smith, Sam Shaw, and Scott Stratton each won 28 or more games to lead their pitching staff.
The Terrapins needed seven games, but in the end their pitching was too much for the Solons. Scott Stratton picked up 3 of the 4 Terrapin wins.
