Explorers Take Down Captains, 2-1
The St. Louis Explorers got a magnificent performance from pitcher Bob Trout, who muffled the San Diego offense en route to a tight, 2-1 Explorers win at San Diego Sporting Complex. The win belonged to Rick Morton in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jack DeWitt took the loss for San Diego. With the win, St. Louis improves its record to 8-10.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the ninth, with the game tied, Charlie Bartels was at the plate when St. Louis scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Explorers to go in front, 2-1.

"That was a really good outing by Bob," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
