San Diego Dealt 9-4 Defeat
San Diego center fielder Jerry Olsen had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-4, to St. Louis at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Olsen was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Randy Birch got the win, improving to 3-4. He worked 5 innings, giving up 4 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 3. After today's action, St. Louis sits at 21-17; San Diego slips to 19-19.

The Captains had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Explorers going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old third baseman Adam Voeller came to the plate. Voeller hit a grand slam home run on a 1-1 fastball from San Diego hurler Allen Brennan. It was Voeller's 4th home run of the year.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Voeller. "You've got to get results."
