Knickerbockers Fall, 12-4, to Boone, Explorers
St. Louis first baseman Freddie Boone had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the New York Knickerbockers, 12-4. The win gives St. Louis a season record of 72-57.

St. Louis used a well-timed hit by Charlie Bartels to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Explorers ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it was important.

"We came out aggressive," said Explorers manager Ray Fleetwood. "We came out swinging the bats."
