Pioneers Victorious at Philadelphia, 13-4
Thanks in large part to pitcher John Babbitt, the St. Louis Pioneers beat the Philadelphia Bells, 13-4. Babbitt threw 9.0 innings allowing 4 runs. The Bells drop to 5-8, as their stumbling start to the 1884 season continues.

Sam Day hit a run-scoring double off George Faulk in the top of the first, which put the Pioneers in front, 1-0. In addition to the double, Day had 1 single, while going 2 for 6.

"It's always fun to score a lot of runs," said Babbitt.
