The Chicago Traders picked up a win at Gates Crescent Park, taking down the Denver Burros, 5-2. Starting pitcher Skip Crawford was a big reason why. The winner was Crawford. He threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was John Gannon. Jimmy Calhoun wrapped it up, recording his 9th save.

The Traders got a big at-bat from third baseman Greg Russell. For the game, Russell was 1 for 4 with a home run. In the top of the second, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave Chicago a 1-0 lead.

"For the most part, I didn't think they knew what was coming," said Crawford.

With the victory, the Traders upped their record to 20-17.
