Robinson Blasts Knickerbockers, Burros Take Game 2, 14-3
Denver third baseman Jamie Robinson produced all the offense the Burros would need in the club's 14-3 win over the New York Knickerbockers.

Robinson went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5, while Denver moved into a tie in the Divisional Round. The Burros and Knickerbockers are now even at 1-1 in the best-of-7 series.

Robinson had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the bottom of the seventh, when he hit a 3-run home run. The Burros went on to win.

"We lost," New York manager Timothy Widholm said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Knickerbocker Stadium in New York.
