The Denver Dingers toppled the Pittsburgh Bichipoos by a 8 to 4 score at The
Couch.

Denver brought 4 runs across the plate in the 7th inning when they came up
with 5 base hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Bill North who deflated
the crowd as he tripled scoring two baserunners.  Denver had 14 hits overall,
while Pittsburgh had 8.  

Bo McLaughlin(3-0) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Bruce Dal
Canton(0-1) took the loss in relief.  He gave up 5 runs and 6 hits in 1 and
2/3 innings.  

The win by Denver is a very welcome one as they have been struggling in recent
days.  Their record now stands at 35-36 - only 2-8 in their last ten games.
Still in a bad slump, with this loss, Pittsburgh is 0-10 lately and 39-33 on
the year.
