Houston Makes Los Angeles 5-1 Losers
Houston starter Joe McCarthy pitched well against the Los Angeles Suns at Dalton Domed Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-1. The first-place Suns have lost 4 consecutive games.

Bill Blair had a big 2-run double for the Comets in the bottom of the first inning. With Houston leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a changeup from Jim Place, who finished 4th in the FA in innings pitched with 260.1 in 1971, and swatted a double to left. It was his 7th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Comets ahead, 4-0.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," McCarthy told the Houston News.
