4-1 Win for St. Louis Hard-Earned | Starting pitcher Frenchy Mack was a major factor in the 4-1 St. Louis Pioneers triumph over the Washington Eagles. Mack got the win, improving to 6-0. He gave up 7 hits and walked 4 over 8.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. John Gibson collected his 8th save.
Had Steve Schultz not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Schultz hit a 2-run single. That made the score 2-0, in favor of the Pioneers.
Schultz attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
St. Louis leads the Federal Association by 3½ games. | |
