Captains Nudge Past Traders, 2-1
The San Diego Captains faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher Skip Crawford, but did just enough to pull out the victory at San Diego Sporting Complex by a final score of 2-1. Crawford went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. San Diego reliever John Espersen picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Randy Weisenberg absorbed the loss. The Captains own a robust 55-31 mark.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when San Diego first baseman Gary Jordan, facing Randy Weisenberg, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Captains the 2-1 win.

"Bottom line," said Chicago skipper Larry Link, "we didn't play well enough to win."
