Pioneers Mow Down Chiefs, 10-4
In the 10-4 St. Louis win over Chicago, the impact of Otis Ballard was substantial. Ballard, who finished 5th in the FA in on-base percentage with .408 last year, was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 3. Coaker Vecchio picked up the win, improving his season record to 5-7. He struck out 2 in 9 innings. At 56-79, the Pioneers find themselves in last place in the Federal Association.

In the bottom of the first inning, shortstop Bob Montgomery had a bases-clearing double for St. Louis. It was his 25th double of the season and put the Pioneers on top, 3-0.

Ballard said afterward that "winning is what it's all about."
