Pilots Beat Brahmins in 11
The St. Louis Pilots cut down the Boston Brahmins by the score of 10-6 in 11 innings. Much of the credit went to left fielder John Tennison. Tennison went 3 for 4 with a triple, a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Pilots. Bulldog Ayers was the winner. Over 11 innings, he yielded 6 runs on 12 hits, with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts. The defeat makes Boston 34-53.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Tennison delivered big-time for St. Louis, stroking a dramatic run-scoring double off Peter Gates. The game-changing hit put the Pilots on top, 6-5.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Tennison. "But we got it done."
