Explorers Win 1-0 Nail-Biter Versus Captains
Bruce Cardenas, who finished 3rd in the NBL in wins with 19 in 1966, was sensational in shutting out the San Diego Captains, 1-0. St. Louis is now 48-43, San Diego 56-35.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ken Osterhage in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Ed Prater to win the game for St. Louis. The home crowd went nuts.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Osterhage said.
