Bath Handcuffs Quakers, Explorers Seize 1-0 Advantage in World Series
The St. Louis Explorers started the World Series in dramatic fashion today, stealing Game 1 from the Philadelphia Quakers in a walk-off in the 10th inning. St. Louis took the 2-1 win thanks in large part to a good day from starter Edgar Bath. The right-hander threw 10 innings of 8-hit ball in the win, which gave the Explorers a 1-0 lead to start the best-of-7 series.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Ross Engler came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Philadelphia pitcher Clay Easton, he hit a 2-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 2-1.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Bath.

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow in St. Louis. Slated to start are Soloman Carlson for the Philadelphia Quakers and Warley Krueger for the the St. Louis Explorers.
