| Washington Sunk by St. Louis, 3-2 | In a low-scoring tilt between the St. Louis Pioneers and the Washington Federals, Dan Hicks, who is on pace to win 31 games this season, was the difference-maker. The St. Louis right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. The Pioneers, at 58-59, sit in 4th place in the Federal League.
The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Wilton Strickland came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Washington pitcher Norm Schmitt, he hit a 3-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 3-2.
Strickland attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
