Burros Pick Up 11-5 Win Against St. Louis
Behind the hitting of Jim Bitting, the Denver Burros stopped the St. Louis Explorers, 11-5. Bitting went 4 for 5 with a triple and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Burros. The winning pitcher was Bob Langham. He's now 4-0. He went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits for the Burros. The Burros, now 20-7, have been playing some good baseball.

Bitting contributed in the bottom of the first. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a run-scoring triple. It was one at-bat among others that helped Denver get the win.

"When you put in the effort and you get really focused, the results come in ways you're not even expecting," said Burros manager Clark Anderson.
