Los Angeles Loss Spoils Terrific Game by Brookins
The Denver Burros besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Los Angeles right fielder Jim Brookins by beating the Blockbusters, 7-5, at Gates Crescent Park. Brookins slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Marty Arnold picked up the win, improving his season record to 3-3. He struck out 1 in 6 innings. The first-place Burros, at 67-47, now lead their division by 5½ games.

The Burros got a big at-bat from left fielder Leon Hughes. For the game, Hughes was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave Denver a 3-2 lead.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Hughes, "one at-bat at a time."
