St. Louis Tacks 7-5 Loss on Kansas City
Kansas City got a terrific game from catcher John Reding. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to St. Louis, 7-5. Reding was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. With their winning streak at 4, the Pioneers have raced to a strong start this season.

Dick Shotwell had a big run-scoring double for the Pioneers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With St. Louis leading 2-1 and a runner on 3rd, he got a fastball from John Heyward, the 3rd overall pick in the 1884 draft, and swatted a double to right. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pioneers ahead, 3-1.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Shotwell.
