Pilots Show Nerve in Tight 6-5 Win
Ajax McFadden, who finished 5th in the IA in strikeouts with 207 in 1885, propelled his team to victory over the New York Excelsiors. The final score was 6-5, St. Louis. The first-place Pilots have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

John Tennison was the walk-off hero for St. Louis. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Pilots left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Ajax gave us a very blue collar effort," said St. Louis manager .
