Burros Get 7-6 Win Versus Milwaukee
The Denver Burros trumped the Milwaukee Dairymen, 7-6, at Milwaukee Municipal Stadium. Denver shortstop Chuck Carr was terrific. He was 2 for 3 with a triple and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Willie Purter, who finished 2nd in the ABL in ERA with 2.46 in 1961, was the winner in relief. His record is now 6-1. The losing pitcher was Danny Guerra. Manny Esparza converted his 17th save in 20 tries.

In the top of the 6th, catcher Tom Clark gave Denver the lead when he hit a 2-run single. The Burros had been trailing 4-3, but the two-out single off Milwaukee pitcher Danny Guerra changed that -- and Denver went on to win.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Clark said.

After today's action, Denver sits at 61-64; Milwaukee slips to 55-71.
