Fuentes Lifts Traders to 9-1 Win
Spirited fans greeted the St. Louis Explorers for their clash with the Chicago Traders.

Chicago second baseman Rafael Fuentes had a 5-RBI game, which helped his team beat the St. Louis Explorers, 9-1. Jose Mojica, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-9. He pitched 8.1 innings, giving up 6 hits and 1 run, while striking out 4 and walking 2.

Chicago won the game in part because of Greg Russell. The third baseman ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Traders ahead, 1-0. For the game, Russell had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"What a dismal performance," lamented losing manager Ray Fleetwood.

Chicago has now won 3 in a row.
