8 Straight Wins for Pilots
Ajax McFadden, who finished 3rd in the IA in ERA with 2.22 last year, propelled his team to victory over the Boston Brahmins. The final score was 8-6, St. Louis. St. Louis starter Zebulon Eldridge was credited with the win after throwing 150 pitches over 9 innings. His record now stands at 4-0. The Pilots, now 8-0, have stormed out of the gates.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Jasper Hines came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Boston pitcher John Killion, he hit a 2-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 7-6.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Hines. "Those qualities define our team."
