Houston Jukes Past New York, 6-5
The Houston Comets took Harry Hayward's best shot and still were able to collect a win at Gotham Stadium. The final score had Houston getting past the Gothams, 6-5, in 10 innings. Hayward over 7 innings allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 5. The win puts the Comets at 35-28, while the Gothams drop to 30-32.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Larry Underwood? The 32-year old third baseman Underwood stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put Houston up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 2, including 1 double and 1 single.

Underwood called getting the win a "good ending to a long game."
