Explorers Win, Adams 4-for-5
A 4-RBI performance from the four-time All-Star Tom Adams helped the St. Louis Explorers beat the Kansas City Bulls, 11-4. The winning pitcher was fan favorite Jorge Gonzalez. He tossed 98 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The win gives St. Louis a record of 1-1.

Dave Bieler drove in 2 runs for St. Louis. The 27-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Tom Mitchell. It was his 2nd RBI of the season.

"We came out aggressive," said Explorers manager Ray Fleetwood. "We came out swinging the bats."
