Burros Prevail, 5-4, Over San Diego
The Denver Burros did just enough to sneak past the San Diego Captains, 5-4, at San Diego Sporting Complex. Denver pitcher Mel Hartman, in particular, had a standout performance. Manny Esparza notched his 17th save in 17 chances. The National Baseball League Western Division-leading Burros are 70-40.

Denver used the hitting of Manuel Andrade to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Burros on top, 2-0. For the game, Andrade had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We were the better team," crowed Andrade.
