| Pioneers Thwart Eagles, 4-2 | Behind the hitting of John Richards, the St. Louis Pioneers defeated the Washington Eagles, 4-2. Richards was 3 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 runs for the Pioneers. Earning his 1st save for St. Louis was Curly Anderson. Washington falls to 10-18.
Art Williams had a big solo home run for the Pioneers in the bottom of the sixth inning. With St. Louis leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Jim Stewart, who finished 3rd in the FA in strikeouts with 222 in 1965, and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Pioneers on top, 3-1.
"I just tried to put the barrel on it," said Richards. | |
