Saturday, May 23-- Bill White tripled home two runs as part of a four-run tenth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals kept rolling with a 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Cardinals (23-15) won their fifth straight game and ninth in their past 11 contests.

Earl Averill's two-run homer (3) tied the game, 2-2, in the seventh inning. The Cardinals had scored single runs in the third and fifth inning to forge a 2-0 lead.
