| Breaking News |  | Thursday, August 7th, 1969: 5-Hit Blitz by Denver's De La Hoz
Who needs batting practice? Mike De La Hoz of Denver apparently doesn't as he battered Twin Cities with a 5-hit outburst in today's game to lead his club to a 9-7 win.
He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 5 day... will my name be in the record books now?"
M. De La Hoz singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
De La Hoz on the season is batting .333 with 1 home run. His totals include 16 RBIs and 10 runs scored. He has played in 21 games.

 | Monday, July 28th, 1969: Horlen Hurls Sugar Kings to Shutout Victory
"My pitching coach told me before the game just to bear down and focus. He said no one was going to hit me if I'm throwing a good breaking ball with good location."
And that's what Joe Horlen did as he led the Sugar Kings to a 3-0 shutout victory over the Grizzlies.
"I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," the Denver manager said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching."
Horlen yielded 5 hits and had 4 strikeouts and 2 walks in a standout performance.
So far this season Horlen has a record of 26-8 with 149 strikeouts and 64 walks in 292 innings and a 2.19 ERA.
