Pioneers Score Late, Clip Minutemen, 3-2
In a low-scoring game between the St. Louis Pioneers and the Boston Minutemen, pitcher Red Kline was the difference-maker. The St. Louis right-hander was tough as nails in the 10 inning, 3-2 Pioneers win. The defeat makes Boston 25-23.

St. Louis got a clutch hit from Ron Girten. The left fielder launched a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

Girten attributed the win to "an all-around good team performance."
