Host Knickerbockers Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
In a pivotal Game 5, the Denver Burros were hoping for a big game from starter John Gannon. They got one.

The right-hander shut out the New York Knickerbockers, proving to be the difference-maker as he led his club to a 1-0 victory. The Burros took the 1-0 win over the New York Knickerbockers to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

John Gannon was masterful. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 8.1 innings.

"John had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Denver manager Clark Anderson.

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday at Gates Crescent Park in Denver.
