TEAM RISP- 14ers: 1 for 7  Dingers: 3 for 12

The Colorado 14ers edged the Denver Dingers at Qualcomm Stadium by the score
of 4 to 3.

Colorado scored 2 runs in the 2nd inning.  Both teams totaled 9 hits on the
night.  The win went to Rick Reed(4-2) who allowed 3 runs in 7 and 1/3
innings. Doug Jones preserved the game for Reed, recording his his 8th save.
John Burkett(3-3) suffered the loss.  

Colorado now has a record of 16-19. Denver can't seem to snap out of their
recent 'funk'.  Now they have a miserable 1-9 record over the last couple
weeks.
