Comets Victorious at Detroit, 7-5
The 7-5 Houston win over Detroit was due in large part to Johnny Adams. The Comets first baseman went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. With the victory, the Comets upped their record to 43-38.

With Houston leading 2-1 in the top of the third, Adams hit a run-scoring single off Detroit hurler Clarence Reimer. It was the 73rd hit of the season for Adams and put his team ahead, 3-1.

Adams said afterward that "winning, obviously, is the main objective."
