| Pioneers Deal Gothams 7-3 Defeat | The St. Louis Pioneers picked up a win at Gotham Stadium, taking down the New York Gothams, 7-3. Starting pitcher Steve Madden was a big reason why. The Pioneers are now 54-36.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jerry Smith? The St. Louis left fielder had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Pioneers on top, 5-3. For the game, Smith had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.
"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Smith. "You've got to get results."
