Comets Win at Minneapolis, 7-2
Houston second baseman Danny Martin was a significant contributor in his team's 7-2 triumph over the Minneapolis Millers. He went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Comets. Wayne Cooper earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts in 6 innings of work. Minneapolis has now lost 4 in a row.

Houston used the timely hitting of Bill Blair to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Comets on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a pretty good night," said Martin.
