Explorers Defeated, 4-2, After Denver Rallies
Spirited fans greeted the St. Louis Explorers for their clash with the Denver Burros.

St. Louis wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Pat Burkholder, falling to the Denver Burros, 4-2. Burkholder threw 7.2 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Picking up the win was John Gannon. He went 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on 10 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 1. Bob Langham got the save, his 16th in 16 chances.

Denver used a timely hit from Tom Gregory to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Burros ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Gregory called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."

With the win, the Burros sit at 45-38.
