St. Louis Breaks Through for First Win in World Championship Series; Now Trails 2-1
The St. Louis Pioneers have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Philadelphia Sailors, winning, 6-4, at Sailors Memorial Stadium. Pioneers second baseman Frank Kirchner went 3-5 with a triple and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win cuts the deficit facing the Pioneers to 2-1 in the best-of-7 World Championship Series.

Kirchner came through for St. Louis with a run-scoring triple in the top of the first. He hit a 1-0 changeup to right-center field, staking his team to a 1-0 lead.

"It was a solid team effort," said Kirchner after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Sailors Memorial Stadium in Philadelphia.
