Slide Continues for Blockbusters
The St. Louis Explorers stopped the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 9-6, at Blockbuster Stadium. The Explorers got a big game from Fernando Martinez, who was 3 for 5 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Picking up the win was Harlan Estes. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 2. Dick Lott picked up his 2nd save of the season.

St. Louis used the clutch hitting of Tom Guinn to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Explorers the lead, 9-6. For the game, Guinn had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"We've got to get out of this funk," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch.

Los Angeles has now lost 7 in a row.
