Burros Procure 5-1 Victory
Denver Burros pitcher Jeff Munoz was in fine form, leading his team past the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 5-1. Denver has an impressive 49-25 record.

It could have been a different outcome for Denver, had it not been for Ricardo Castillo, the 27-year old second baseman . Castillo contributed a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put Denver up, 4-0.

"I thought we played a nice game," Castillo told the Denver Today. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
