Behind the hitting of John Crabtree, the Denver Burros stopped the Chicago Traders, 7-1. Crabtree went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 6 RBI and scoring once for the Burros. Chicago, at 43-42, has lost 6 straight.

David Smith was 1-4 with a walk for Denver. The 29-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Larry Cox. It was his 33rd RBI of the season.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Crabtree.
