Andrew Powers Comets to 9-5 Win
Behind the hitting of Hank Andrew, the Houston Comets stopped the Detroit Dynamos, 9-5. Andrew went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times for the Comets. Houston is now 41-37, while Detroit is 39-36.

John Edwards had a big 2-run home run for the Comets in the top of the fifth inning. With Houston leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from 32-year old right-handed pitcher Jack Williams and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Comets on top, 4-1.

"We played hard and won," said Andrew. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
