Kansas City Dispatched, 7-2, by Denver
Good production from second baseman Kevin Gunn helped the Denver Burros topple the Kansas City Bulls, 7-2. Gunn went 2-4 with 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI for the Burros. Willie Purter, who finished 4th in the ABL in ERA with 2.29 in 1964, picked up the win in relief. Waldo Hardaway took the loss for Kansas City. With their winning streak at 4, the Burros have raced to a strong start this season.

With Denver leading 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Gunn hit a 2-run single off Kansas City hurler Waldo Hardaway. It was the 22nd hit of the season for Gunn and put his team ahead, 4-1.

"Feels good to get the job done," Gunn said after the game.
