Provincials Solve St. Louis in Extra Innings
The Toronto Provincials defeated the St. Louis Pilots, 13-8, in 12 innings. Doing his part was right fielder Merritt Hunter, who was 3 for 6 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Toronto reliever George Ward picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Bob Hunter took the loss. Toronto, at 45-37, holds down third place in the International Association.

Toronto needed the clutch hitting of Standpipe Read to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Provincials on top, 10-8. For the game, Read had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"Baseball is such a beautiful game," said Hunter. "Anything can happen on any night, and that's why you don't dwell on what happened yesterday. Just look forward and trust you're going to have positive results."
