Los Angeles Gets Another L
The St. Louis Explorers picked up a win at Corps of Discovery Stadium, downing the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 9-1. On the mound for St. Louis was right-hander Bruce Cardenas, who played a pivotal role in the win. Cardenas, now 6-3, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 4, walking 3, and allowing 1 run. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for St. Louis.

Bob Raab had a big 3-run home run for the Explorers in the bottom of the third inning. With St. Louis trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a changeup from fan favorite Basil Anderson and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Explorers on top, 3-1.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch.
