Burros Get Close Win Over Bulls, 6-5
The Burros grabbed a win, 6-5, at Independence Field, overcoming a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Pedro Nunez. Nunez went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Warren Washington notched his 1st save in 2 chances. The National Baseball League Western Division-leading Burros have a record of 103-59.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Tom Clark came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Bob Crosby, he hit a full count sinker for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Denver on top, 6-4.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Denver manager Clark Anderson.
