Explorers Earn Late Win
The St. Louis Explorers downed the Kansas City Bulls, 7-6, at Independence Field. The Explorers were led by Chuck Panetta. Panetta was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. St. Louis reliever Marty Clark was the winner. His record is now 1-2. The losing pitcher was Andy Luce. St. Louis is last in the National Baseball League Western Division with a record of 44-60.

Ken Osterhage drove in one run for St. Louis. The 23-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Andy Luce. It was his 15th RBI of the season.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Osterhage.
