Burros Get Clutch Win Versus St. Louis
The Denver Burros faced a tough opponent in St. Louis pitcher Glenn Kittle, but still scratched out a win at Corps of Discovery Stadium by a final score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Kittle went 9 innings and allowed 2 runs. Rick Morton earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. His record is now 4-1. Archie Sereni was credited with the save, his 1st in 2 tries.

John Crabtree, who is tied for 4th in the NBL in RBI with 83, helped out the Denver cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the first baseman went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk.

Crabtree attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."

St. Louis's current losing streak has reached 4 games.
