St. Louis Nets 12-11 Win Versus Millers
The St. Louis Pioneers beat the Minneapolis Millers in a game in which both teams scored early and often. The final score was 12-11, Pioneers. One of the hitting stars was first baseman John Richards. Richards, who finished 2nd in the FA in home runs with 26 in 1972, was 2 for 5 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Bobby Carr earned the save for St. Louis, his 1st of the year. The Pioneers now have a mark of 52-52.

St. Louis relied on the hitting of Ed Holt to pick up the win. The catcher ripped a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Pioneers on top, 11-10. For the game, Holt had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"They're fun to watch and the hitters get to pad their stats but nobody's really happy about a game like that," St. Louis manager Babe Johnson. "I promise you I'm not happy."
