Burros Stun Blockbusters, 5-3
Los Angeles got a decent performance from pitcher Larry Messenger, but it wasn't enough to beat the Denver Burros. Denver won the Blockbuster Stadium contest, 5-3. Messenger threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. George Drumm, credited with the win, is now 6-2. He allowed no runs on no hits. Denver is in third place in the National Baseball League Western Division with a record of 81-72.

Denver used the timely hitting of Ralph King to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Burros on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

King attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
