Burros Raise Rally Flag, Beat St. Louis, 7-5
The Denver Burros stopped the St. Louis Explorers, 7-5, at Corps of Discovery Stadium. The Burros got a big game from Bobby Raley, who was 4 for 4 with 4 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Bob Langham claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. His record stands at 8-6. The Denver winning streak has reached 3 games.

Denver used the timely hitting of Dick Hoffmeier to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Burros on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Raley.
