Pilots Pull Out Late-Game Win, 9-8
The Denver Pilots outlasted the Quebec Aces, 9-8, in 10 innings. Miguel Gutierrez provided some punch at the plate for Denver. He hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 6. Billy Merner came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits in 3 innings. His record now stands at 4-8. The win puts Denver at 73-71 this season.

Jim Green came through with a big-time hit for Denver. The designated hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 9-8. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Gutierrez told the Denver Citizen.
