St. Louis Nets 5-4 Win Versus Captains
San Diego wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher John Espersen, falling to the St. Louis Explorers, 5-4. Espersen threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs for the losing team. Robbie Goolsby picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 4-5. Ron Barc suffered the loss. St. Louis is now 37-47, San Diego 48-33.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Chuck Panetta to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Explorers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."
