Continental League Games April 26th

Bill Foster improved to 5-0 with a masterful 3-2 win over the White Bears.  Yielding just 7 hits in 7 innings, he notched 7 strikeouts.  Charlie Gehringer again led the Model Ts attack, and Dan Brouthers contributed a key pinch hit as Detroit scored twice in the 7th to achieve a come from behind win.  St. Louis defeated Kansas City by a similar score.  Down by 1, Ted Williams and Willie McCovey delivered key extra base knocks to drive in 2, providing St. Louis with a much needed win over the second place Cattle Barons.  The Commodores' NipWinters turned in the pitching performance of the day with a 5 hit complete game win over Cincinnati.  Winters only had 2 runs from the Cinci batsmen, but he didn't need any more in the 2-0 affair.
