The St. Paul Colored Gophers knocked off the Erie Blackbirds, 6-3, at Lexington Park. Frank Truesdale was a big reason St. Paul won. The second baseman went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. J D Durbin earned the save for St. Paul, his 10th of the year. St. Paul leads the WBL Rook National INDY RN - West by 5½ games.

With St. Paul leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth, Truesdale hit a slider from Doyle Lade for a 2-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Colored Gophers ahead, 5-2.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Truesdale told the St. Paul Gazette.
