Burros Down Traders, 6-3
Denver registered a win at Union Field by beating the Chicago Traders, 6-3. Pitcher John Gannon was one reason why the Burros triumphed. Denver improves to 72-42 with the win. They lead their division by 9 games.

Denver took a 6-3 lead on Willie Purter's 1st home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Purter hit in the top of the 13th, left Chicago pitcher William Matz visibly frustrated.

In postgame comments, Purter said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
