Pilots Deal Prairie Dogs 7-5 Loss
The St. Louis Pilots picked up a win at Carver Grounds, topping the Kansas City Prairie Dogs, 7-5. On the mound for St. Louis was right-hander Ajax McFadden. He played a principal role in the triumph. McFadden, who finished 3rd in the IA in wins with 30 last year, went the distance for St. Louis. He gave up 5 runs on 8 hits. Their 50-28 record puts the Pilots first in the International Association.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the fifth. That's when McFadden hit a changeup from Bill Nolette for a 2-run single, putting St. Louis up, 6-3.

"This is a very good team," said McFadden. "We have the chance to do something special."
