Pilots Upend Excelsiors, 12-6
The St. Louis Pilots topped the New York Excelsiors, 12-6, in International Association action at Excelsior Grounds. The standout performance belonged to St. Louis first baseman and Lonaconing, Maryland, native Bulldog Ayers. After losing, New York is 12-8.

St. Louis relied on the bat of Travis Krupp to get the win. The third baseman ripped a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Pilots ahead, 10-3. For the game, Krupp had 1 double and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Ayers said.
