A 3-RBI performance from center fielder Ken Osterhage led the St. Louis Explorers to a win over the New York Knickerbockers, 13-5. Bob Trout picked up the win, lifting his record to 16-8 on the season. He struck out 1 and walked 4 in 6 innings, while yielding 4 runs. With the win, St. Louis goes to 62-65, while the Knickerbockers fall to 71-57.

Bob Raab, who led the ABL in RBI with 89 in 1967, helped out the St. Louis cause in the top of the seventh inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. For the game, the first baseman drew 1 walk in 6 plate appearances.

"This was one of those games you love to be a part of," said Osterhage.
