St. Louis Gets 3-2 Win
The St. Louis Explorers picked up a win at Independence Field, courtesy of Stan Heart. The right-hander helped his team stop the Kansas City Bulls, 3-2. The winner was Heart. He threw 8.1 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Paul Geary. Bernie Tate recorded the save for St. Louis, his 2nd of the season.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Tommy Pickett? The 28-year old center fielder Pickett stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put St. Louis up, 3-0. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"We were in it," said Kansas City manager DD Martin. "We just didn't score enough runs."

St. Louis has a record of 3-2.
