Burros Mow Down Traders, 10-3
The Denver Burros topped the Chicago Traders by the score of 10-3, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Jamie Robinson. Robinson was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Burros. Dave Church, the winning pitcher, is now 9-2. He went 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 2. The victory gives the Burros a record of 35-33.

Denver used the bat of Gordy Gregory to get the win. The catcher hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Burros ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Robinson told the Denver Gazette.
