Late Heroics Net Bears 2-1 Win
The Memphis Bears banked on John Coley and he turned in a masterful performance. The left-hander kept the Saint Louis hitters in check. The final score was 2-1, Bears. Hubert Harris picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Pete Giles suffered the loss. The Bears, now 28-22, know that wins in June count the same as wins in September.

Batting in the bottom of the 13th, 24-year old second baseman James Smith had a real shot to win the game. Saint Louis pitcher Pete Giles was determined not to let it happen. But with one out, Smith hit a run-scoring single. The Bears had a walk-off triumph.

"This game was intense," Smith said, postgame.
