Explorers Drop Bobcats, 3-2
In a low-scoring game between the St. Louis Explorers and the Cleveland Bobcats, pitcher Harlan Estes was the difference-maker. The St. Louis right-hander was tough as nails in the 3-2 Explorers win. St. Louis reliever Bruce Shone picked up the win, upping his record to 3-4. Dennis Lawrence was saddled with the loss. Bernie Tate, who is a two-time All-Star, nailed down the save.

Dave Bieler went 3-3 with a double and 2 singles for St. Louis. The 28-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Dennis Lawrence. It was his 33rd RBI of the season.

"We had the right guys up at the right times," said Cleveland manager Daniel Mays. "We just didn't cash in."

The Bobcats, now 42-40, have lost 4 in a row.
