Burros Turn Back Chicago, 5-3
Bruce Cardenas, who finished 2nd in the NBL in ERA with 2.37 in 1971, propelled his team to victory over the Chicago Traders. The final score was 5-3, Denver. Chicago drops to 2-2.

Guillaume Moret had a big 2-run triple for the Burros in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Denver leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from former first overall pick Jose Mojica and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Burros ahead, 4-1.

After the game, Denver manager Clark Anderson applauded the team's effort. "We put some good AB's together," he said.
