Burros Win, 4-1, at San Diego
Two good teams met in a late-season showdown.

John Gannon pitched a gem to lead Denver to victory over the San Diego Captains, 4-1. Gannon, now 20-9, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing 1 run.

Bobby Raley, who led the ABL in wins above replacement with 6.5 in 1964, had a direct impact on the outcome. Raley contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Denver up, 4-0.

"We're in the driver's seat," said Gannon. "I like our chances."

Denver has won 3 straight, while San Diego has lost 3 in a row.
