Slide Continues for Explorers
Bruce Cardenas, who finished 2nd in the NBL in ERA with 2.37 last year, was locked in. The right-hander led the Denver Burros to a 5-3 win against the St. Louis Explorers at Gates Crescent Park. Denver reliever Bob Langham picked up the win, upping his record to 3-5. Jorge Gonzalez absorbed the loss. The slumping Explorers have lost 8 straight.

Bobby Raley was 1 for 2 with a walk for Denver. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jorge Gonzalez. It was his 27th RBI of the season.

Denver manager Clark Anderson called it "a pretty good win."
