Sluggers Suffer 9-4 Home Defeat
The Oakland Roses cut down the St Louis Sluggers by the score of 9-4, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Nick Kurtz. Kurtz went 2-5 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Roses. The first-place Roses, at 69-41, lead the Union League Western Division by 5½ games.

Oakland catcher Drake Baldwin contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a curveball to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 89th hit of the season and put the Roses ahead, 5-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Oakland manager Herb Pilgrim.
