| Comets Score Late, Stun Gothams, 5-2 | The New York Gothams got a superb performance from pitcher Joe Nelson, but the Houston Comets still won the game, 5-2. Nelson threw 6.1 innings of shutout ball. Bob Young finished to wrap up his 7th save. Houston has a record of 34-27, placing them second in the Federal Association West.
Fred Ruesch drew 1 walk in 4 plate appearances for Houston. With no one out and the game tied in the top of the ninth inning, Ruesch had a clutch at-bat. Facing New York hurler Jeff Pettigrew, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Comets a 3-2 lead.
"It never gets old," said Ruesch. "Winning, that is."
