Starting pitcher Vern Hensley pitched well enough to help the Chicago Traders beat the St. Louis Explorers, 7-3. With the win, Chicago pushed its record to 41-28.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Terry Moore to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Traders on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Moore.
