Miller belts 2 home runs in Keystones Win
Philadelphia and St. Louis got after it at Broad Street Park II.

The Philadelphia Keystones handed the St. Louis Pioneers a sound defeat, 11-3, at Broad Street Park II. Buddy Miller, who finished 2nd in the FA in home runs with 46 last year, was a main contributor to the win. He was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He scored 4 times and drove in 2 for Philadelphia. Philadelphia now sits at 41-57, while St. Louis falls to 38-62.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Roger Cleaves came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing St. Louis pitcher Coaker Vecchio, he hit a 0-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 4-3.

Said St. Louis manager Cliff Everett: "They just got the better of us."
