Pilots Use Late Surge to Win
The St. Louis Pilots picked up a win at St. Gabriel Grounds II, dropping the Montreal Tigers, 6-4. Ajax McFadden, who finished 5th in the IA in strikeouts with 267 in 1886, was the difference-maker. McFadden got the win, improving to 18-9. He gave up 9 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. He allowed 4 runs. The Pilots improved their record to 77-49 with the win over Montreal.

John Heyward was 1-3 with a double for St. Louis. With one out and the game tied in the top of the eighth inning, Heyward, who finished 3rd in the IA in stolen bases with 44 in 1886, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Montreal hurler Joe Henry, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Pilots a 5-4 lead.

"It was a solid team effort," said Heyward after the game.
