St. Louis Pockets 7-5 Win Over Baltimore
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Baltimore Bannermen home opener. Bill Silvers started for the home team against Zebulon Eldridge for the St. Louis Pilots. The Bannermen were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 7-5, St. Louis. Jackrabbit Hoppe, though, was impressive.

St. Louis took a 7-5 lead on Zebulon Eldridge's 1st double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Eldridge hit in the top of the eighth, left Baltimore pitcher Bill Silvers visibly frustrated.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Eldridge told the St. Louis Citizen.
