Bells Take Home 3-2 Win Over St. Louis
Dave Gunn, despite pitching well, was dismayed with the outcome: a hard-fought, 3-2 St. Louis Pioneers defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Bells at Independence Grounds. Philadelphia is now 32-26.

Randolph Hollings contributed a productive at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With a runner on 3rd, he hit a run-scoring single. His at-bat helped Philadelphia get the win.

Afterward, Bells manager was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
