Traders Score Late, Stun Explorers, 5-3
The Chicago Traders picked up a win at Corps of Discovery Stadium, dropping the St. Louis Explorers, 5-3. Jose Mojica, who is tied for 6th in the NBL with a 2.57 ERA, was the difference-maker. Randy Weisenberg, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1972 draft, earned the save for Chicago. The Explorers, now 22-27, have lost 4 straight.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Fran Precourt? The three-time All-Star Precourt stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Chicago up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Jose was hitting his spots and everything had life," said Chicago manager Larry Link.
