Series Lead Cut to 1 for San Diego After 6-1 Loss
Leave it to the veteran.

The Denver Burros got a great start from 36-year-old right-hander Willie Purter, as Denver took the 6-1 win at Gates Crescent Park over the series-leading San Diego Captains. Purter threw 9.0 innings of 2-hit ball and helped Denver close their deficit to 3 games to 2 in the best-of-7 series.

Purter went the distance for Denver, allowing 1 run on 2 hits, while striking out 7.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Purter. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 2nd , 1973 at San Diego Sporting Complex in San Diego.
