The New York Gothams got a rain-soaked win over the St. Louis Pioneers.

New York starter Bill Smith pitched well against the St. Louis Pioneers at Pioneer Field III. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-4. Smith, now 2-3, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing 3 runs.

A key moment came in the top of the third inning when Gothams left fielder Jim Nielsen socked a 2-2 sinker to center for a run-scoring single, putting New York up, 2-1.

"We played hard and won," said Smith. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The first-place Pioneers now sit at 64-43.
