Bears Improve to 58-45 with 5-4 Win
Thanks in large part to left fielder Spencer Burke, the Memphis Bears beat the Saint Louis Canaries, 5-4. Burke went 3-4 with 3 singles, while scoring 2. Memphis reliever Charles Carey picked up the win, raising his record to 6-0. Eugene Cooper was tagged with the loss. With the victory, the Bears upped their record to 58-45.

Alphonse Johnson went 2 for 3 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI for Memphis. The 26-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Horace Hunter. It was his 41st RBI of the season.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Johnson told the Memphis Times. "Whatever it takes."
