Bobcats Absorb 3-1 Loss at Pilots Ballpark
The Denver Pilots and Walnut Park Bobcats played a tight game with the hosts claiming a hard-fought win.

Denver Pilots pitcher Billy Merner was in top form, leading his team past the Walnut Park Bobcats, 3-1. Juan Santana recorded his 14th save for Denver.

The Bobcats had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Pilots going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old first baseman Jim Green came to the plate. Green hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 fastball from Walnut Park hurler Brad Porretta. It was Green's 5th double of the year.

"Billy did a good job of managing their lineup," said Denver manager Byung-sik Lee.

The Pilots now have a mark of 23-36.
