Blackhawks Win at Denver, 4-2
Chicago Blackhawks starter Mike Kirkland hurled his team past the Denver Cutthroats, 4-2. Kirkland, now 1-1, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. Ruben Wirtz was called on to finish, recording his 3rd save.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Steve Tucker to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Blackhawks on top, 3-2. For the game, Tucker had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Kirkland.

The win puts Chicago at 4-3.
