Almost There: St. Louis On Cusp of World Series Triumph After 6-5 Win
When the games really matter, the St. Louis Explorers put on their best show, beating the New York Knickerbockers by a final score of 6-5 today. Billy Frazier earned player of the game honors, as he threw 8 innings of 6-hit ball. St. Louis now leads New York 3-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

The Explorers were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth when shortstop Ben Thoreson turned a 0-1 fastball from Grant Lambert into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent a roar through the crowd and gave St. Louis a thrilling 6-5 win.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Explorers manager , "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow. Slated to start are Wes Lee for New York and Brock Rutherford for St. Louis.
