Captains Deal Bobcats 9-1 Loss
The Cleveland Bobcats had to reckon with San Diego Captains hurler John Espersen. Espersen, the 26th overall pick in the 1969 draft, overwhelmed the opposition in the 9-1 Captains triumph. Espersen picked up the win for San Diego, going 6 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 1-4. The victory gives the Captains a record of 25-11.

Earl Peters had a big grand slam home run for the Captains in the top of the eighth inning. With San Diego leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he sized up a sinker from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Chuck Galloway and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Captains on top, 8-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said San Diego manager Joe Mack.
