Captains Win, Move to Within 1 Game of League Championship Series
The San Diego Captains moved to within one game of the League Championship Series, downing the Denver Burros on the road at Gates Crescent Park by a score of 8-4. Captains right-hander Mark Pike had a strong outing. He threw 8.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The win gives the Captains a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Divisional Round.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Earl Peters? The San Diego catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put the Captains on top, 3-0. For the game, Peters had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Peters said after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Gates Crescent Park in Denver.
