St. Louis Beats Chicago in 10-Inning Thriller
The St. Louis Pioneers in 10 innings beat the Chicago Chiefs, 2-1, at Pioneer Field II. Starting pitcher Bill Kline was a major factor, holding his opponents in check all game. With the win, St. Louis has a record of 34-50. Chicago falls to 46-37.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for St. Louis. That's when 24-year old right fielder Rex Pilcher hit a solo home run off Mel Haynes to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"The fact of the matter is that we had a shot to win," said losing manager Irv Howard.
