Explorers Handle Kansas City, Snag 3-0 Win
In a tight tilt between the St. Louis Explorers and the Kansas City Bulls, Randy Birch was the deciding factor. The St. Louis right-hander spearheaded the 3-0 win. The Explorers improved their record to 71-75 with the win over Kansas City.

St. Louis left fielder Bob Raab contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 56th hit of the season and put the Explorers ahead, 2-0.

Raab called the win "good for the psyche of this team."
