Pioneers Rally to Win
Enthusiastic fans came out to support the home team at Whitney Park.

The St. Louis Pioneers faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher Joe Cipolla, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Whitney Park by a final score of 7-4. Cipolla went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Steve Madden got the win, improving to 12-3. He worked 7 innings, giving up 3 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. John Gibson earned his 16th save, after closing out the game.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Paul Watson? The two-time All-Star Watson stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put St. Louis up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Every win gets us closer to our ultimate goal," said Watson.

The Pioneers, at 70-45, sit in second place in the Federal Association.
