The 9-3 Denver win over San Diego was due largely to David Smith. The Burros left fielder was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while adding 4 RBI. Dick Scorza, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 5 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 2. His record now stands at 9-5. The triumph puts Denver at 88-58 for the season.

With Denver leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Smith hit a 2-run single off San Diego hurler Dave Gilson. It was the 102nd hit of the season for Smith and put his team ahead, 3-0.

"We're just going to try to build off this win," said Smith.
