Explorers Collect 5-3 Win Over Burros
The St. Louis Explorers faced a tough opponent in Denver pitcher John Gannon, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Gates Crescent Park by a final score of 5-3 in 11 innings. Gannon went 9 innings and allowed 3 runs. St. Louis has now won 3 straight, while the Burros have lost 4 in a row.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Fernando Najera came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Denver pitcher Bob Langham, he hit a full count cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 4-3.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Najera.
