Explorers Edge Past Blockbusters, 3-2
The St. Louis Explorers eked out a 3-2 win versus the Los Angeles Blockbusters at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Tony LaDuke. He was terrific. The first-place Explorers, at 91-68, now lead their division by 5½ games.

Had Dave Bieler not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Bieler hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Explorers.

"Both teams played hard," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
