Pete Vuckovich stopped Towanda cold and Cesar Cedeno left the yard and had 2
RBI as the Denver Dingers defeated the Towanda Black Knights by the score of
7 to 3 at Mile High Ballpark.

Towanda never recovered after Denver took the lead in the bottom of the 2nd
inning scoring a single run.  Vuckovich, after tossing a perfect ninth, was
credited with his 7th save.  

The win was credited to Rick Waits(3-0) who went 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 3
runs. The losing pitcher was Dennis Eckersley(2-2).  'It felt really nice to
get this win,' Waits said. 'I kind of dictated the game. It's what I get paid
to do. It worked out this time.'
