WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: George Foster robbed Jack Brohamer of an extra base hit.

In a good matchup it was the Cincinatti Royalty 6, the Denver Dingers 4 at
Mile High Ballpark.

Denver fell behind quickly as the Cincinatti offense came through in the first
inning when they scored 4 runs on 3 hits.  The biggest moment was provided by
Andre Thornton who deflated the crowd as he cleared the fences for a two-run
home run.  Denver was set down quietly in the bottom of the 9th.  

The victory went to Steve Mingori(2-1) who went 2 and 1/3 innings, allowing no
runs. Dave Goltz(1-2) took the loss.  Cincinatti knocked him around a bit, as
he gave up 6 runs in 5 innings.  

'Ahhh, how sweet it is,' John O'Neil sighed.  'That win feels like a tall,
cool drink of water after spending far too much time in the desert lately.'
