| Pioneers Sunk by Millers | Minneapolis center fielder Bill Powell contributed significantly to his team's 7-1 win over the St. Louis Pioneers. Powell, who is tied for 5th in the FA with a .905 OPS, went 4 for 5 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Millers. The third-place Millers have won 6 straight games.
Heinie Spitler had a key at-bat with two out in the bottom of the first for Minneapolis. With the bases loaded and the Millers leading 1-0, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.
"Our offense was purring," said Minneapolis manager Bill Bryan. "Like a well-oiled machine." | |
