The 1975 season began for the St. Louis Pioneers with a loss to the Los Angeles Suns at Pioneer Field III. The final score was 5-2. Los Angeles pitcher Pete Meissner had a fine performance.

Ron Clark was credited with the save for Los Angeles, his 1st of the season.

Jim Thurman dealt the Pioneers a blow in the top of the sixth. Batting with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Los Angeles leading 1-0, Thurman, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1963 draft, hit a first pitch forkball for a 2-run single.

Thurman said his team "played with a purpose."
