The Philadelphia Quakers trumped the St. Louis Explorers, 5-3, at Quakers Stadium. Philadelphia left fielder Jeff Murchison was terrific. He went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Philadelphia starter Fred Harrison was credited with the win after throwing 85 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 11-9. With the victory, the Quakers upped their record to 73-52.

Murchison had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-1 sinker from Robbie Goolsby, he banged a 2-run home run to left-center, giving the Quakers a 5-3 lead. It was the 18th home run of the year for Murchison.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Philadelphia manager Jeff Green.
