Superbas Losing Streak at 6 After Extra-Inning Loss to Cardinals
Sherry Magee led the charge as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Brooklyn Superbas, 6-5, in 11 innings at Washington Park. Magee, who leads the NL in home runs with 5, belted 3 home runs, while adding 4 RBIs and scoring three times. The Superbas, at 17-30, have lost 6 in a row.
With the game tied in the top of the 11th inning, Magee had a clutch at-bat. That's when he hit a solo home run to give the Cardinals a 6-5 lead.
"Our team found a way to get it done," said Magee.

Detroit Goes Hitless Against Brown
Mordecai Brown relied on excellent pitch selection and pinpoint control to hold Detroit hitless in a win, 4-0, at Bennett Park.
"Nobody goes out to pitch a no-hitter," he said later. "We just go out and try to get a win. A 10-9 win is better than a 1-0 loss. My pitching buddies might not be too happy giving up nine runs but a win is a win. The key to it today was I mixed my pitches well. I kept the Tigers off balance and guessing the whole game."
The 29-year-old starter rung up 3 strikeouts and no walks in whipping the Tigers.
"When a guy is throwing strikes the way he was and is locating well, it is going to be a long day for any club," Detroit skipper George Stallings said.
To date this season, Brown is 15-3 with 18 starts and an ERA of 1.05 with 73 strikeouts in 170.2 innings.
