Explorers Drop Burros, 1-0
In a tight game between the St. Louis Explorers and the Denver Burros, pitcher Harlan Estes was terrific on the mound. The St. Louis right-hander helped his team to the 1-0 win. Dick Lott, credited with the win, is now 4-6. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1 innings. The 4th-place Explorers have won 5 straight games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ken Osterhage in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 21-year old right-handed pitcher John Suozzo to win the game for St. Louis. The home crowd went nuts.

"Harlan -- I just love the competitor in him," said Explorers manager Ray Fleetwood.
