Explorers Deal Burros 5-1 Loss
The 1968 season did not get off to quite the start the Denver Burros had hoped, with an opening day loss to the St. Louis Explorers at Gates Crescent Park. The final score was 5-1. Third Baseman Bill Fulton was the top performer for St. Louis.

Fulton had a game-changing double in the top of the sixth. On a full count curveball from Bart Dunsley, he banged a bases-clearing double to right-center, giving the Explorers a 3-0 lead. It was the 1st double of the year for Fulton.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Fulton.
