Grays Edge Past Bulls, 3-2
Oakland right-hander Harry Frenette helped his team edge Houston by the score of 3-2. Frenette kept the opposing lineup in check. Bill Douglass snagged the win in relief. In 1.1 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits. He's now 5-4 on the season. Johnny Cook was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities.

Spud Bent, the 32-year old third baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Bent contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put Oakland up, 3-2.

"This was a tough loss," said Houston manager Jerry Wilcher. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."

The Grays have an impressive 55-32 record.
