Los Angeles Suns (68-46) 0 0 0 3 0 4 0 1 0 8 11 2
Houston Comets (60-52) 1 0 1 1 0 0 3 3 X 9 13 1
Comets Score Late to Beat Suns, 9-8
Comets center fielder Hank Andrew left his imprint on his team's 9-8 win over the Los Angeles Suns. Andrew was 3-5 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs for Houston in the contest. Bob Young snagged the win in relief. He goes to 7-8 on the season. Ron Clark suffered the loss. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for the Comets.

Had Fred Ruesch not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Ruesch hit a 2-run single. That made the score 9-8, in favor of the Comets.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Andrew.
