Explorers Score Late to Beat Bluebirds, 2-1
The St. Louis Explorers picked up a win at Corps of Discovery Stadium, taking down the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 2-1. Starting pitcher Willie Purter was a big reason why. The win belonged to Robbie Goolsby in relief. His record improves to 1-3. Bob Hill took the loss for Brooklyn. The Explorers improved their record to 16-21 by beating Brooklyn.

The decisive blow was delivered by Frank Warnock in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Bob Hill to win the game for St. Louis. The home crowd went nuts.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Warnock.
