The St. Louis Explorers picked up a win at Corps of Discovery Stadium, knocking off the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 5-4, in 11 innings. On the mound for St. Louis was right-hander Glenn Kittle. He played a pivotal role in the triumph. The win went to Tony LaDuke in relief, making him now 3-2. Tom Benson took the loss for Los Angeles. St. Louis is in third place in the National Baseball League Western Division with a record of 28-28.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when St. Louis first baseman Adam Voeller, facing Tom Benson, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Explorers the 5-4 win.

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