| Comets Sunk by Dynamos | Houston center fielder Hank Andrew had a good game, even if his team did not. The Comets dropped a 5-3 decision to Detroit at Thompson Field. Andrew was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Dick Butler nailed down his 6th save. The current losing streak for Houston has reached 4 games.
Lou Strader, who is rated as the 78th best prospect by BNN, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, the Detroit first baseman hit a 2-run single. That put the Dynamos in front, 4-2.
"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Detroit manager Roger Cleaves.
