Pilots Post 7-6 Win
Brahmins Grounds was the site of an exciting ballgame between the St. Louis Pilots and Boston Brahmins.

The St. Louis Pilots did just enough to sneak past the Boston Brahmins, 7-6, at Brahmins Grounds. St. Louis first baseman Bulldog Ayers, in particular, had a standout performance. After today's action, St. Louis sits at 61-35, while Boston falls to 51-48.

John Tennison, who is tied for 8th in the IA in extra base hits with 32, helped out the St. Louis cause in the top of the fifth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the left fielder went 1 for 5.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Tennison said. "That's why you play the game."
