Traders Victorious at Milwaukee, 3-0
In a low-scoring contest between the Chicago Traders and the Milwaukee Dairymen, Larry Cox, the first overall pick in the 1967 draft, proved to be the difference. The Chicago right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-0 Traders win. Jimmy Calhoun earned the save, his 20th in 25 tries. Chicago is now 48-44.

Jimmy Benson, who finished 5th in the NBL in extra base hits with 60 in 1969, had a direct impact on the outcome. Benson contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Chicago up, 2-0.

Benson told a Chicago Bulletin reporter he was "pleased as punch" with the win.
