| Eagles Edged, 5-2, by Houston | Houston right-hander Jay Hunt pitched his team to victory over the Washington Eagles at Columbia Stadium. The final score was 5-2. Al Bailey recorded the save for Houston, his 1st of the season. With this game in the books, Houston is 52-45, Washington 48-50.
Houston used a timely hit from Grady Smith to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Comets ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a difference-maker.
"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Joe D'Aprile.
