Solons Take Initiative on Road in 14-Inning Thriller
An all-important Game One of the World Series went into extra innings at Sportsman's Park, with the Sacramento Solons eventually emerging on top. Sacramento has Earl Averill to thank, after the left fielder was 3-6 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 in the 8-5 victory. The Solons are up one game in the best-of-seven series.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Josh Gibson came to bat in the top of the 14th. Facing St. Louis pitcher Mort Cooper, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a 2-run double. It was a game-changer, putting Sacramento on top, 7-5.

"It was a solid team effort," said Averill after the game.

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow. The scheduled starters for the game are Tony Freitas for Sacramento and Paul Derringer for St. Louis.
