Host Bobcats Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Denver left fielder Leon Hughes was the key at Lakefront Stadium, as he powered the Burros to victory in a critical Game 5 of the Divisional Round. The Burros took the 8-3 win over the Cleveland Bobcats to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Denver used a well-timed hit by Guillermo Morales to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Burros ahead, 4-3. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Morales said.

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