Monarchs Take Tight Tilt, 3-2
The Cincinnati Monarchs scored a tight, 3-2 win versus the St. Louis Pilots at Queen City Grounds II. Cincinnati pitcher Kenneth Ranson held his own in the contest. Cincinnati is in 4th place in the International Association with a record of 38-33.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 28-year old catcher Jim Lacasse had a chance to be the hero. St. Louis pitcher Bulldog Ayers wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Lacasse drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Monarchs had themselves a thrilling win.

"This place was rockin'," said Lacasse.
