The Denver Burros picked up a win at Knickerbocker Stadium, dropping the New York Knickerbockers, 5-2. Bruce Cardenas, who leads the NBL with a 1.82 ERA, was the difference-maker. Cardenas yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 3, and struck out 9. His record improves to 9-4. The victory gives Denver a record of 54-42.

The Burros got a big at-bat from right fielder Guillaume Moret. For the game, Moret went 1-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times. In the top of the first, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 24th home run of the season gave Denver a 1-0 lead.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Denver skipper Clark Anderson.
