Explorers Edge Demons, 3-2
The Chicago Explorers took Detroit pitcher Shane Bieber's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Detroit Park. The final score had Chicago getting past the Demons, 3-2. Bieber went 5 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 5. At 2-1, the Explorers have played well so far.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jon Berti? The 36-year old second baseman Berti stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Chicago up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Every loss stings," said Detroit manager Marc Buffington. "This one is no exception."
