Denver Wins, 4-3, in Extra Innings
St. Louis got a terrific performance from pitcher Dick Lott, but it wasn't enough to beat the Denver Burros. Denver won the Corps of Discovery Stadium contest, 4-3. Lott threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Denver has an impressive 25-10 record.

Willie Purter came in in relief and pitched to 1 batter for Denver. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the top of the 12th. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jorge Gonzalez. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"It's a satisfying feeling, to win like we did," said Purter.
