St. Louis Pioneers starter Doc Burbank turned in a top-notch performance against the Detroit Sturgeons at Pioneers Park. The result was a win for the Pioneers, 4-2. At 53-52, the Pioneers are currently 4th in the Federal League.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Wilton Strickland came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Detroit pitcher Bill Poole, he hit a full count fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 4-2.

"I'd like to pitch a complete game every time," said Burbank.
