Millers Turn Back Pioneers, 5-3
Minneapolis parlayed a decent outing from starter Charlie Martin into a solid win over the St. Louis Pioneers. The final score was 5-3. The winner was Ben Baird in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Roy McDonald took the loss. The Millers, now 4-1, have hit the ground running this season.

Minneapolis used a timely hit from Aaron Courtney to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Millers ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"I've been criticized for being a slacker, but the one thing I do care about is winning," Courtney told the Minneapolis Citizen.
