Explorers Wins, 2-0, as Chapa Mystifies New York
It wasn't easy but the St. Louis Explorers made it look that way.

Starter Jose Chapa shut out the New York Knickerbockers despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the St. Louis Explorers cruised to victory, 2-0. Chapa allowed only 4 hits and rang up 9 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."

Chapa has posted a 7-3 record for the year with a 2.92 ERA. Teams are hitting .243 against him and he has rung up 58 strikeouts in 80 innings.
