| Keystones 4-0 Winners Versus Houston | Philadelphia turned a good performance from starting pitcher Joe Downing into a 4-0 triumph over the Houston Comets at Dalton Domed Stadium. The winner was Downing. He threw 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The loser was George Roy. The Keystones improved to 56-61.
It could have been a different outcome for Philadelphia, had it not been for Jay Ziegler Jr., the three-time Diamond Defense Award winner . Ziegler Jr. contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Philadelphia up, 3-0.
Downing said afterward that "winning, obviously, is the main objective." | |
