Burros Handle San Diego, Snag 9-2 Win
The Denver Burros locked up a win at Gates Crescent Park, knocking off the San Diego Captains, 9-2. On the mound for Denver was right-hander John Gannon. He played a major role in the triumph. Denver goes to 69-40. The win puts them 8½ games up in their division.

Tom Gregory drew 2 walks in 3 plate appearances for Denver. The 27-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring walk off Dave Fields. It was his 16th walk of the season.

Said losing manager Joe Mack: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
