| St. Louis Defeats New York, 5-3 | The 1963 season did not get off to quite the start the New York Gothams had hoped, with an opening day loss to the St. Louis Pioneers at Gotham Stadium. The final score was 5-3. Starting Pitcher Frenchy Mack was the top performer for St. Louis. The winner was Mack. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Red Blanchard. John Gibson, who led the FA in saves with 23 in 1960, earned the save for St. Louis.
St. Louis used the hitting of Steve Schultz to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Pioneers on top, 2-0. For the game, Schultz had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"This was a good win," said Schultz.
