Burros Beat Chicago, 5-4
Fans watched the Denver Burros and the Chicago Traders fight to the finish.

Guillermo Morales was a vital contributor to the 5-4 Denver victory over Chicago. The Burros center fielder was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times. Denver reliever Frank Combs picked up the win, raising his record to 6-0. Randy Weisenberg was tagged with the loss. Picking up the save was Manny Esparza, his 7th.

Charlie Wright went 1-2 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Denver. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Dave Setlak. It was his 5th RBI of the season.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Wright told a Denver Herald reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."

Denver raised its record to 31-17 with the win.
