Denver Overcomes 2 HRs from Peters, Tops San Diego in Extras to Tie LCS
San Diego catcher Earl Peters pounded Denver pitchers at Gates Crescent Park, but it was not enough to keep the Captains from losing in a walk-off. The Burros fell, 7-6, in Game 6 of the League Championship Series. Peters hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice, even though the Captains fell into a 3-3 tie in the best-of-7 series.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ricardo Castillo in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 25-year old left-handed pitcher Ed Prater to win the game for Denver. The home crowd went nuts.

In postgame remarks, Castillo simply said: "Here's to a great win!"

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