St. Louis Dispatched, 8-3, by Denver
The Denver Burros picked up a win at Gates Crescent Park, knocking off the St. Louis Explorers, 8-3. Starting pitcher Bob Langham was a big reason why. Langham got the win, improving to 10-10. He gave up 6 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. He allowed 3 runs. The second-place Explorers dropped to 71-52.

Guillaume Moret, who led the NBL in wins above replacement with 10.5 in 1970, chipped in a solo home run for Denver in the bottom of the first. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 1 RBI.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Moret told a Denver Times reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
