Explorers Clip Captains, 2-1, in DR Contest
When the games really matter, the St. Louis Explorers put on their best show, beating the San Diego Captains by a final score of 2-1. Ray Heath threw 7.0 innings of 1-hit ball. The series now sits at 1-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

St. Louis got a knockout punch from Kevin Campbell. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood said his team played a "no nonsense" game.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at San Diego Sporting Complex in San Diego.
