Burros Score Late to Nip Explorers, 4-3
The St. Louis Explorers got a superb performance from pitcher Tommy Phillips, but the Denver Burros still won the game, 4-3. Phillips threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball. Denver goes to 99-60. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.

Jamie Robinson was the walk-off hero for Denver. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Burros third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Robinson told the Denver Today. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
