The Chicago Traders topped the St. Louis Explorers, 4-2, in National Baseball League action at Union Field. The standout performance belonged to Chicago pitcher and Greensboro, Georgia, native Skip Crawford. Randy Weisenberg collected his 5th save. The Explorers drop to 5-5 and continue their mediocre start to the 1976 season.

Ken Mays went 2 for 3 with a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Chicago. The 27-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a 2-run single off Bob Trout. It was his 5th hit of the season.

"Skip was bobbing and weaving the whole game," said Chicago manager Larry Link.
