Knickerbockers Sunk by Explorers
The St. Louis Explorers tallied a win at Knickerbocker Stadium, throttling the New York Knickerbockers, 5-1. Starting pitcher Tony LaDuke was a big reason for his team's success. St. Louis has run its win streak to 4 straight.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Tom Guinn to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Explorers on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Nice to keep our winning streak intact," said Guinn.
