San Diego Defeated By Burros, 7-4
The Denver Burros took on the San Diego Captains at Gates Crescent Park.

The 7-4 Denver win over San Diego was due in large part to Doug Davis. The Burros right fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was Bruce Cardenas. His record now stands at 5-5. The right-hander went 8.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits for the Burros. Bob Langham, who leads the NBL in saves with 27, earned the save for Denver.

Frankie Novy helped out the Denver cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the second baseman drew 2 walks in 4 trips to the plate.

Said San Diego manager Joe Mack: "They just got the better of us."

Denver, at 90-59, is 2 games up in the National Baseball League Western Division.
