The Minneapolis Millers faced a tough opponent in Houston pitcher Wayne Cooper, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Dalton Domed Stadium by a final score of 3-1 in 10 innings. Cooper went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Minneapolis reliever Ben Baird was the winner. His record is now 11-9. Joe Barnes took the loss. Minneapolis is 4th in the Federal Association West with a record of 35-41.

George Fisher had a key at-bat in the top of the tenth. With a runner on 1st, he hit a single. It helped send Minneapolis to the win.

"Everybody in here is a professional. You have to do what you have to do," said Fisher.
