Cardinals Outlast Pirates, 12-11
The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 12-11, with the biggest share of the credit going to center fielder Dick Johnston. Johnston went 3 for 5 with a triple and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Cardinals on the day. St. Louis is now 17-15.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Charlie Frank to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cardinals on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"They're fun to watch and the hitters get to pad their stats but nobody's really happy about a game like that," St. Louis manager Craig Widner. "I promise you I'm not happy."
