The timely hitting of Earl Peters helped the San Diego Captains down the Denver Burros, 9-5. Peters was 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Captains. Mark Pike, the winner, is now 4-3. He struck out 6 and walked 3 over 6 innings, while allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. Ray McKenzie collected save number 1.

Ron Byrd had a big 2-run double for the Captains in the bottom of the sixth inning. With San Diego leading 5-4 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from 32-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Reid and swatted a double to right. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Captains ahead, 7-4.

"Nervous? No," said Byrd. "It was my time to shine."

The Captains raised their record to 29-23.
