Explorers Rally to Nose Past San Diego
In a low-scoring contest between the St. Louis Explorers and the San Diego Captains, Bob Trout, who is tied for 9th in the NBL with a 2.92 ERA, proved to be the difference. The St. Louis right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Explorers win. St. Louis goes to 51-58, San Diego to 58-52.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Ken Osterhage to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Explorers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood called it "a darn good win."
