Denver Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The Denver Burros picked up a win at Gates Crescent Park, knocking off the Cleveland Bobcats, 4-3. Starting pitcher Bruce Cardenas played a key role in the triumph. The second-place Burros have won 5 in a row.

John Crabtree was the walk-off hero for Denver. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Burros first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I like what I saw today," said Denver manager Clark Anderson, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
