Chiefs Edge Pioneers, 8-7
The Chicago Chiefs beat the St. Louis Pioneers, 8-7, in part because of left fielder Earl Leckie. He went 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs. Chicago pitcher Ernie Espanoza got the win, upping his record to 3-0. Lee Richardson got the loss. Mel Haynes earned the save for Chicago, his 2nd.

Had Homer Mills not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Mills hit a 2-run single. That made the score 8-7, in favor of the Chiefs.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Leckie, "but we got it done."

So far in 1954, Chicago is 20-20.
