Pioneers Rally to Win
Enthusiastic fans came out to support the home team at Pioneer Field II.

The St. Louis Pioneers picked up a win at Pioneer Field II, knocking off the Chicago Chiefs, 6-2. On the mound for St. Louis was right-hander Joe Potts. He played a key role in the triumph. The defeat makes Chicago 46-36.

Had Otis Ballard not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Ballard hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Pioneers.

"In this profession, you've got to put the good and the bad behind you quickly," Chicago skipper Irv Howard said.
