Road Win Lifts St. Louis to 3-2 Lead in World Series
The St. Louis Explorers moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the Philadelphia Quakers on the road at Penn's Landing Park by a score of 9-2. Explorers catcher Morris Close was named player of the game after he went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The win gives the Explorers a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

Close's nice game included a clutch run-scoring double in the top of the first.

"Things broke our way today and that's great," Explorers manager said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."

Game 6 is set to be played Wednesday. The scheduled starters for the game are Millard Silver for the Philadelphia Quakers and Hampton Bunker for the the St. Louis Explorers.
