Captains, Burros Play 12 to Settle Game 1, San Diego Now Leads Series 1-0
When the games really matter, the San Diego Captains put on their best show, beating the Denver Burros by a final score of 3-0. Ray Heath threw 9.1 innings of shutout ball. San Diego now leads Denver 1-0 in the best-of-7 affair.

Though he did not get the decision, Heath did all he could to keep his team close, twirling a shutout through 9.1 innings, until San Diego eventually rallied past the Burros.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Heath told the San Diego Herald. "And padding the San Diego win column."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Gates Crescent Park in Denver.
