Pilots Make Losers of Excelsiors
The St. Louis Pilots topped the New York Excelsiors, 4-2, in International Association action at Fuchs Park. The standout performance belonged to St. Louis pitcher and Lonaconing, Maryland, native Bulldog Ayers. In 9 innings, Ayers surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The first-place Pilots lifted their record to 62-21.

The Pilots benefited from an error in the bottom of the second inning. St. Louis was leading 2-1 when Travis Krupp hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put St. Louis in front, 4-1.

Krupp attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
