Burros Get Clutch Win, 4-3
Denver Burros starter Bob Langham found his groove in his team's 4-3 win over the Cleveland Bobcats. Denver pitcher Frank Combs got the win. He's now 11-3. Rick Tomlinson was tagged with the loss. The National Baseball League Western Division-leading Burros are 98-56.

Jim Bitting drove in one run for Denver. The 28-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Bill Smith. It was his 58th RBI of the season.

"Bottom line," said Cleveland skipper Daniel Mays, "we didn't play well enough to win."
