Denver Grabs 3-0 Road Win
Denver starter Tom Reid put a stranglehold on the Los Angeles offense. The right-hander had complete command of his cutter in leading the Burros to a 3-0 win. Bob Langham picked up the save, his 1st. The setback makes the Blockbusters 7-11.

Denver won the game in part because of John Crabtree. The first baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Burros ahead, 3-0. For the game, Crabtree had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"I like what I saw today," said Denver manager Clark Anderson, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
