On Road, Oakland Drops Houston, 9-4
A good performance from first baseman Ed Greenwood helped the Oakland Grays defeat the Houston Bulls, 9-4. Greenwood was 1-2 with 3 walks, while scoring 3 for the Grays. With the win, the Grays hiked their record to 37-21.

Oakland used a well-timed hit by Hank Grant to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Grays ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I like our moxie," said Grays manager Bill Hunter.
