Late Offense Lifts St. Louis to 11-8 Victory
St. Louis starter Ajax McFadden pitched well against the Baltimore Bannermen at Banner Field. The right-hander led his team to a win, 11-8. St. Louis, at 83-53, occupies first place in the International Association.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder John Tennison came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Baltimore pitcher Clyde McCormack, he hit a 3-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 9-8.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Tennison, "this wasn't it."
