Explorers Capture Close Win
The St. Louis Explorers faced a tough opponent in Kansas City pitcher Tom Mitchell, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Corps of Discovery Stadium by a final score of 6-5. Mitchell went 8.1 innings and allowed 5 runs. The Explorers, now 2-1, have been playing some good baseball.

Tom Guinn was the walk-off hero for St. Louis. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Explorers shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This wasn't a good win," said Guinn. "It was a great win."
