Pilots Stymie Kansas City, Take 7-1 Win
The St. Louis Pilots picked up a win at Carver Grounds, taking down the Kansas City Prairie Dogs, 7-1. Starting pitcher Bulldog Ayers was a big reason why. In 9 innings, Ayers surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. The win makes St. Louis 51-29.

There was more than one reason the Pilots beat the Prairie Dogs, but Ayers's big at-bat in the top of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-1 lead when he hit a run-scoring single.

"When I throw strikes I'm good, if I don't I'm not very good," said Ayers. "So I just have to throw strikes."
