Explorers Get 4-3 Win Versus Kansas City
The St. Louis Explorers beat the Kansas City Bulls by a score of 4-3. St. Louis third baseman John Darnell deserved the lion's share of the credit. Darnell went 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 for the Explorers. Harlan Estes got the win, improving to 13-6. He held the Bulls to 2 runs on 6 hits over 6 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 3. With the win, St. Louis has a record of 89-69. Kansas City falls to 81-77.

St. Louis used a clutch at-bat from Tom Adams to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Explorers ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Adams.
