Burros Down Traders, 9-7
The Denver Burros outlasted John Sledd and the Chicago Traders, 9-7. Sledd was impressive in the loss. The Chicago first baseman was 5 for 8 with a home run, a double, and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Doug Keene finished the game for Denver and earned his 2nd save. The slumping Traders have dropped 6 in a row.

Kevin Gunn drew 2 walks for Denver. The 25-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the 14th. With no one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Craig Hardage. It was his 22nd RBI of the season.

"From the last whatever, five, six, seven games, there's really only one way to go and that's up," said losing manager Larry Link.
