Traders Rack Up 5-2 Win Versus Denver
The Chicago Traders picked up a win at Union Field, knocking off the Denver Burros, 5-2. Starting pitcher Randy Birch was a big reason why. The Traders, now 10-5, have played some good baseball in the early going.

Fran Precourt went 2-4 with a double and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Chicago. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring single off Bob Langham. It was his 26th hit of the season.

"Winning is always a team effort," Precourt said after the game.
