Traders Win Thriller, 4-3
The Chicago Traders ushered in the 1975 season with a win versus the Philadelphia Quakers at Union Field. The final score was 4-3. Starting Pitcher Bobby Peters, who finished 5th in the ABL in innings pitched with 249.0 in 1966, had a standout performance. Peters yielded 3 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 0, and struck out 8. His record improves to 1-0.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when second baseman Rafael Fuentes, who finished 4th in the NBL in wins above replacement with 7.2 last year, hit a run-scoring triple. The Traders went on to win.

Chicago manager Larry Link praised his team's "energy."
