Ken Osterhage left his imprint on the 6-3 St. Louis win against the Chicago Traders. Osterhage, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1967 draft, was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs. Rick Morton, credited with the save, is now 5 for 6 in save opportunities. St. Louis has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bob Roberts? The St. Louis right fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Explorers on top, 2-1. For the game, Roberts had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort," said Roberts after the game.
