In the 10-5 Houston win over Baltimore, the impact of Maury Moore was substantial. Moore, who finished 4th in the FA in hits with 189 in 1973, was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The triumph puts Houston at 50-44 for the season.

With Houston leading 4-3 in the top of the sixth, Johnny Blackburn hit a run-scoring single off Baltimore pitcher Buck Guthrie. It put the Comets ahead 5-3.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Moore.
