Chicago Downed, 5-2, by Burros
The Chicago Traders got a sterling performance from pitcher Randy Birch, but the Denver Burros still prevailed, 5-2. Birch threw 5.2 innings of shutout ball. The 6th-place Burros have won 4 straight.

Denver used the timely hitting of Frank Bohley to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Burros on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Bohley called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
