Explorers Get One-Run Win at Kansas City
In a close game at Independence Field, the St. Louis Explorers edged the Kansas City Bulls, 5-4. St. Louis left fielder Chuck Panetta stood apart with his performance. He was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs. The Bulls drop to 8-8 and continue their mediocre start to the 1972 season.

Adam Voeller dealt the Bulls a blow in the top of the seventh. Batting with runners on 1st and 2nd and St. Louis leading 4-3, Voeller, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1968 draft, hit a 1-0 sinker for a run-scoring single.

St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood called it "a pretty good win."
