| Comets Rack Up 4-2 Win Versus Atlanta | The Houston Comets got a strong performance from pitcher Joe McCarthy, who stymied the Atlanta offense en route to a win, 4-2, at Peachtree Stadium. The loss makes Atlanta 74-47.
The Comets benefited from a costly error in the top of the sixth. With Jerry Robinson at bat and Houston leading 2-1, the Atlanta miscue allowed Houston to plate 1 and take the lead, 3-1.
Houston manager Glenn Carney attributed the win to "a little bit of this and a little bit of that."
