Tennison Helps St. Louis Edge New York
The St. Louis Pilots defeated the New York Excelsiors, 4-3, at Fuchs Park. St. Louis was led by slugging left fielder John Tennison, who went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Bulldog Ayers got the win, improving to 24-8. He held the Excelsiors to 3 runs on 5 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 2 and walking 0. New York has now lost 4 consecutive games.

Ajax McFadden had a clutch hit in the bottom of the seventh inning. With two men out and a runner on 2nd, the St. Louis first baseman hit a run-scoring single. That put the Pilots in the lead, 4-3.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Tennison.
