St. Louis Downs Los Angeles, 6-2
St. Louis Explorers starter Dave Church kept the Los Angeles Blockbusters hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 6-2 win. Church yielded 2 runs over 8.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 10 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. His record improves to 4-4. Picking up his 6th save was two-time All-Star Bernie Tate.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the top of the fourth inning, but Church was able to pitch out of a jam. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Los Angeles trailing 1-0, Church retired Bobby Richter, who flied out.

The winning streak has now reached 4 games for St. Louis.
