Burros Win at Chicago, 16-5
The Denver Burros cut down the Chicago Traders by the score of 16-5, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman John Crabtree. Crabtree went 2-4 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Burros. Denver pitcher Bart Dunsley got the win, upping his record to 3-1. Jose Mojica got the loss. Denver is now 23-10, 4 games up in the National Baseball League Western Division.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the first. That's when Crabtree hit a curveball from Jose Mojica for a run-scoring single, putting Denver up, 1-0.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Crabtree.
