Burros Get One-Run Win at Los Angeles
The Denver Burros topped the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 5-4, in National Baseball League action at Blockbuster Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Denver pitcher Bob Langham. Langham got the win, improving to 10-13. He gave up 4 hits and walked 3 over 6.1 innings. He allowed 1 run. Manny Esparza recorded his 19th save for Denver.

Denver used a well-timed hit by Billy Powers to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Burros ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Powers said.

The 4th-place Burros improved to 71-71.
