Packers Hand Denver 6-2 Loss
Cincinnati picked up a win at Gates Crescent Park, bumping off the Denver Burros, 6-2. Pitcher Damon Rutherford was a major reason the Packers emerged victorious. The win takes Cincinnati to 9-7.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of John Hembree to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Packers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Said losing manager Clark Anderson: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
