Quakers Earn 8-4 Home Win
Philadelphia second baseman Tim Hunt was instrumental in helping the Quakers triumph, 8-4, over the Denver Burros. Hunt went 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Philadelphia pitcher Juan Ramirez got the win, upping his record to 11-8. Willie Purter got the loss. The win lifted the Philadelphia record to 54-45.

Jim Vadnais had a big 2-run double for the Quakers in the bottom of the first inning. With Philadelphia leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 13-year veteran Willie Purter and swatted a double to left. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Quakers ahead, 4-0.

"I still think this team can play even better," Vadnais told the Philadelphia Chronicle.
