Explorers Get Clonked by Traders, 3-2
Riding the 4-hit performance of the two-time All-Star Rafael Fuentes, the Chicago Traders stopped the St. Louis Explorers, 3-2. Jimmy Calhoun, who led the NBL in saves with 30 in 1970, earned the save for Chicago. Today's win puts Chicago at 22-28, while St. Louis falls to 25-25.

With Chicago leading 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Fuentes hit a slider from Bernie Underwood for a run-scoring triple. It was his 2nd triple of the season and put the Traders ahead, 3-0.

"We squandered some opportunities," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood.
