Explorers Deal Bluebirds 5-1 Loss
St. Louis starter Pat Burkholder put a stranglehold on the Brooklyn offense. The right-hander had complete command of his splitter in leading the Explorers to a 5-1 win. Burkholder went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 0, and struck out 8. His record improves to 12-6. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for St. Louis.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jim Horrigan? The St. Louis first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Explorers on top, 2-0. For the game, Horrigan had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood. "It's usually not just one thing."
