Jimmy Benson, who finished 5th in the NBL in extra base hits with 60 in 1969, had a direct impact on the outcome. Benson contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put Denver up, 3-0.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Langham. "Those qualities define our team."
