Bulls Lose, 5-3, at Gates Crescent Park
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Denver Burros and Kansas City Bulls.

Burros right fielder Guillaume Moret left his mark on his team's 5-3 win over the Kansas City Bulls. Moret, who led the NBL in on-base percentage with .398 in 1966, went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for Denver in the contest. Bob Langham recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 12 for 15.

Moret had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a 1-1 fastball from Bob Crosby, he banged a grand slam home run to left-center, giving the Burros a 5-1 lead. It was the 21st home run of the year for Moret.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Moret.

Denver has now won 3 straight, while the Bulls have lost 3 in a row.
