San Diego Captains (33-26) 1 0 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 5 10 2
St. Louis Explorers (30-29) 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 X 6 11 2
Explorers Get Past San Diego for 6-5 Win
The St. Louis Explorers weathered a fine game by San Diego shortstop Ernie Wilkins to upend the Captains, 6-5, at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Wilkins went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. The win lifted the St. Louis record to 30-29.

Had Tommy Pickett not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Pickett hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Explorers.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
