Explorers Earn Late 3-2 Win
The Oregon Explorers and Minnesota Mallards played an entertaining game for Multnomah Stadium patrons.

The Oregon Explorers eked out a 3-2 win versus the Minnesota Mallards at Multnomah Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Owen Suarez. He was terrific. Oregon raised its record to 72-56 with the win.

The decisive blow was delivered by Julio Cruz in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 35-year old right-handed pitcher Keith Olson to win the game for Oregon. The home crowd went nuts.

Cruz said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
