Behind the hitting of Jim Bitting, the Denver Burros stopped the New York Knickerbockers, 7-4. Bitting was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 for the Burros. Dick Scorza, credited with the save, is now 2 for 4 in save opportunities. Denver is now 40-21. New York is 34-27.

John Crabtree was 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 singles for Denver. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the sixth inning, Crabtree, who leads the NBL in triples with 5, had a clutch at-bat. Facing New York hurler Joaquin Hernandez, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Burros a 5-4 lead.

"Enjoyed this one," Bitting told the Denver Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
