Traders Trounce Burros, 10-2
The Chicago Traders used an offensive barrage to beat the Denver Burros, 10-2, at Union Field. Jimmy Benson, who finished 5th in the NBL in extra base hits with 60 in 1969, led the way, going 3-for-4 for Chicago. Chicago is now 25-22, Denver 25-24.

Chicago third baseman Greg Russell contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the first. With two down, he hit a fastball to left-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 35th hit of the season and put the Traders ahead, 4-1.

Denver manager Clark Anderson called the blowout loss "a real dud."
