Explorers Absorb 4-1 Loss at San Diego Sporting Complex
Mark Pike, who is tied for 9th in the NBL in complete games with 6, had a strong outing for the San Diego Captains against the St. Louis Explorers at San Diego Sporting Complex. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-1 win. Jack DeWitt got the save, the 15th for him this season. San Diego has now won 5 straight.

Dick Howard had a big solo home run for the Captains in the bottom of the sixth inning. With San Diego leading 2-1 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Jim Thurlow, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1970 draft, and punished it. The result was his 11th home run of the season, which put the Captains on top, 3-1.

Pike called the win "a team effort."
