Host Solons Drop Game Five, Still Lead Series 3-2
Despite a great performance by Sacramento catcher Josh Gibson, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Solons by the score of 6-5 at Moreing Park today. Gibson went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once to earn player of the game honors, but could not prevent the Cardinals from moving within one game of knotting the World Series. St. Louis trails 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Joe Medwick to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's hard to overstate how much this mattered to us, especially in a short series," St. Louis manager said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow. The scheduled starters for the game are Mort Cooper for St. Louis and Tony Freitas for Sacramento.
