King Hits 2 home runs in Burros Win
Denver and San Diego duked it out and the Burros came out victorious.

The Denver Burros topped the San Diego Captains, 8-6, with left fielder Ralph King playing a big role. King went 3-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for the Burros in the win. The Captains, now 5-15, continue their poor start.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Gordy Gregory came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing San Diego pitcher Phil Leach, he hit a full count curveball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Denver on top, 8-6.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Gregory.
