Kansas City Dispatched, 6-2, by St. Louis
St. Louis got a strong outing from Bob Trout as the Explorers defeated the Kansas City Bulls, 6-2, at Independence Field. St. Louis is now 64-52, while Kansas City is 52-66.

John Darnell had a big bases-clearing double for the Explorers in the top of the second inning. With St. Louis leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a splitter from Skip Carter, who is tied for 4th in the NBL in wins with 12, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Explorers ahead, 4-0.

"Bob is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
