Tigers Lose as Pilots Stage Late Rally
St. Louis catcher Charles Russell played a vital role in his team's 11-9 conquest of Montreal. He was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once for St. Louis. The triumph makes St. Louis 13-5, as the team begins another long trek toward the playoffs in 1887.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Russell delivered big-time for St. Louis, stroking a dramatic bases-clearing double off Rodney Friesen. The game-changing hit put the Pilots on top, 11-8.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Russell, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
