Good production from right fielder Guillaume Moret helped the Denver Burros topple the St. Louis Explorers, 12-3. Moret went 3-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 for the Burros. Denver starter Bruce Cardenas was credited with the win after throwing 117 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 4-1. Early on, the Burros, at 16-6, have excelled.

With Denver leading 2-0 in the top of the second, Moret hit a cutter from Glenn Kittle for a run-scoring double. It was his 4th double of the season and put the Burros ahead, 3-0.

St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood said: "We'll rinse this one off and get ready for the next game."
