Texans Clinch Division

The Dallas Texans won the Continental League of Professional Baseball Clubs' Western Division after their walk-off win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In what was a preview of the Continental Cup, the Texans could clinch a pennant with a win over the Maple Leafs, while a loss would open the door for the Minneapolis Millers to sneak in.

Both teams put up runs in the first inning, but the pitchers for both sides kept tossing zeros up on the board, as the game went to extra innings tied at one.

The Maple Leafs took the lead in the top of the 10th when shortstop Chico Terry led off the inning with a solo shot off of Bruce Haroldson. Terry had a spectacular day in the loss, going 4-for-5 with 2 R.

While the Maple Leafs took the lead, the Texans had different plans, striking back in the bottom of the inning. Sid Harvey led off the inning with a pinch hit single, and then Carlos Bernier clinched the playoffs and ended the season on a walk-off two-run home run.
