Burros Earn Win with Late Rally
The Denver Burros picked up a win at Milwaukee Municipal Stadium, dropping the Milwaukee Dairymen, 4-3. John Suozzo was the difference-maker. The win has Denver at 15-32.

Jimmy Benson, who finished 5th in the NBL in extra base hits with 60 in 1969, had a direct impact on the outcome. Benson contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Denver up, 4-3.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Suozzo told the Denver Times.
