Stars Nipped, 4-1, by Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Keystones picked up a win at Keystones Park, knocking off the Indianapolis Stars, 4-1. Starting pitcher Charlie Pointer was a big reason why. The winning pitcher was Pointer, now 8-4. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. Philadelphia now has a record of 31-24 with the win.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Harry Lowe came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Indianapolis pitcher Charles Mitchell, he hit a 0-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 2-1.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Pointer told the Philadelphia Daily. "You win just by scoring more runs."
