Washington Wins, 9-8, in Extra Innings
Despite a fine performance by left fielder Otis Ballard, the St. Louis Pioneers lost to the Washington Eagles, 9-8, in 10 innings. Ballard went 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. Frank Porter, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-2. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. The Eagles are now 43-37, while the Pioneers fall to 32-49.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Washington. That's when former first overall pick Tom Miller hit a run-scoring double off Lee Richardson to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Miller.
