| Houston Dealt 4-2 Defeat | Starting pitcher Bob Scott was a major factor in the 4-2 Boston Minutemen triumph over the Houston Comets. Scott, the winner, moves to 3-4. He threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 1 and giving up no walks. The setback makes Houston 29-25.
Boston left fielder Dick Ward contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 41st hit of the season and put the Minutemen ahead, 4-2.
Ward attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."
