Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Pioneers
St. Louis left fielder Jerry Smith was a significant contributor in his team's 8-6 triumph over the New York Gothams. He was 3-4 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Pioneers. St. Louis pitcher Al Grabner got the win. He's now 5-9. Fred Rowe was tagged with the loss. Today's win puts St. Louis at 74-48, while New York falls to 53-69.

St. Louis used the clutch hitting of Bob Bell to snag the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pioneers ahead, 7-6. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said St. Louis manager Lou Ormsby.
