Tom O’Brien of the New York Giants receives perhaps the first intentional walk in major league history. In the 8th inning, with runners on second and third bases with one out, Ed Delahanty of the Philadelphia Phillies tells teammate pitcher Jack Fifield to walk O’Brien, who has hit well all day. Then next batter, Fred Hartman, hits into a double play.

Jack McCarthy of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits a game-winning three-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning when his drive into the corner goes through a door that a fan then shuts before the fielder can reach it. The National League will eventually order this game to be replayed.
