Denver Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
Jim Franz led Denver to a win over Westwood. The final score was 7-5. The Chicago, Illinois native collected 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. With the win, Denver pushed its record to 51-46.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Franz hit a fastball from Ken Griffey for a 2-run home run. The Pilots, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This one wasn't over until it was over," Franz said, postgame.
