  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Kansas City Bulls (2-1) 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 4 10 1

Denver Rallies for 6-4 Win
Denver parlayed a decent outing from starter Dick Scorza into a solid win over the Kansas City Bulls. The final score was 6-4. The victory makes Denver 1-2.

Had Ricardo Castillo not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Castillo hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Burros.

"Dick is a tough competitor," said Denver manager Clark Anderson.
