Big Day for Page as Pioneers Down Eagles, 8-2
The St. Louis Pioneers took on the Washington Eagles at Columbia Stadium.

Pioneers center fielder Cal Page left his mark on his team's 8-2 win over the Washington Eagles. Page, who finished 3rd in the FA in runs with 97 in 1945, was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for St. Louis in the contest. St. Louis pitcher Coaker Vecchio got the win, upping his record to 3-7. Jackson Scott got the loss.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bob Montgomery? The St. Louis shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Pioneers on top, 4-1. For the game, Montgomery had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was a tough day, no getting around it," said losing manager Pete Molyneaux.

Their 44-72 record puts the Pioneers last in the Federal Association.
