Captains Victors, 5-1, at St. Louis
The San Diego Captains beat the St. Louis Explorers, 5-1, at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Starting pitcher Mark Pike was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. In 9 innings, Pike surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. The victory gives San Diego a record of 88-66.

In the top of the fourth inning of a 0-0 tie, San Diego center fielder Ron Roe reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 1 run. It broke the deadlock and put San Diego on top, 1-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Roe.
