| James, St. Louis Prevail in Pitchers' Duel | The St. Louis Pilots earned a close win over the Cincinnati Monarchs, thanks in part to Will James. The St. Louis right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the IA with a 0.98 ERA, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. Now 4-7, the Monarchs have not played well this season.
James delivered a quality start for St. Louis. The 6-foot-0 right-hander allowed 1 earned run on 6 hits over 9 innings of work.
"I had my mind made up to go the distance," said James. | | | | |
