Pioneers Score Late, Clip Millers, 3-2 | St. Louis starter Frenchy Mack pitched well against the Minneapolis Millers at Pioneer Field III. The left-hander led his team to a win, 3-2. St. Louis reliever John Gibson picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Bobby Crooks was saddled with the loss. The win puts St. Louis at 5-1.
Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 29-year old second baseman Charlie Cooper had a real shot to win the game. Minneapolis pitcher Bobby Crooks was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Cooper hit a run-scoring single. The Pioneers had a walk-off triumph.
"We've hit a rough patch right now," said Minneapolis skipper Frank Vance. | |
