Pioneers Capture Close Win | The St. Louis Pioneers and New York Gothams played an exciting game.
The St. Louis Pioneers wiggled past the New York Gothams, 3-2, at Gotham Stadium. The win was highlighted by the performance of St. Louis pitcher Danny Daniels. St. Louis reliever Harry Johnson picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Chuck Kleiman was saddled with the loss. Picking up the save was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Doc Greenwood.
Joe Kleman, who finished 2nd in the FA in hits with 209 in 1960, had a direct impact on the outcome. Kleman contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 13th inning to put St. Louis up, 3-2.
In postgame comments, Kleman said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."
The Pioneers have an impressive 96-53 record. | |
