Explorers Deal Bulls 7-3 Loss
The St. Louis Explorers picked up a win at Independence Field, knocking off the Kansas City Bulls, 7-3. Starting pitcher Larry Caines played a key role in the triumph. Caines got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 5 hits and walked 4 over 8 innings. He allowed 3 runs. The Bulls fall to 6-8 and continue their lackluster start in 1970.

It could have been a different outcome for St. Louis, had it not been for Tom Guinn, the 21-year old shortstop . Guinn contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put St. Louis up, 4-3.

"Larry gave us everything he had," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
