The Denver Burros dealt the St. Louis Explorers a 5-4 loss at Corps of Discovery Stadium. John Crabtree was the star on offense. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. The winner was Archie Sereni in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Bernie Tate took the loss. Denver has now reeled off 8 straight wins.

Crabtree had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 0-2 curveball from Bernie Tate, he banged a solo home run to left-center, giving the Burros a 5-4 lead. It was the 8th home run of the year for Crabtree.
