Cardinals Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Spiders
The St. Louis Cardinals got a stellar effort from pitcher Jay Tibbs, helping St. Louis score a 2-1 win over the visiting Cleveland Spiders. The Spiders, now 4-13, continue their poor start.

St. Louis third baseman Placido Polanco helped the Cardinals go up, 2-1, in the bottom of the ninth inning. With the game tied, Polanco hit a run-scoring single off Cleveland pitcher Steve Karsay.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Tibbs.
