Mitchell Lifts Orphans to 7-6 Triumph
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Chicago Orphans and Cleveland Spiders.

The Chicago Orphans defeated the Cleveland Spiders, 7-6, in part because of right fielder Mike Mitchell. Mitchell went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Orphans. The Orphans lead the Western League by a game.

Chicago took a 7-4 lead on Mitchell's 1st home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Barney Pelty in the top of the sixth, propelled Chicago to the win.

"This is not a one-man show," said Mitchell. "A lot of the guys stepped up."
