Comets Drop Minutemen, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Houston Comets and the Boston Minutemen, Joe McCarthy was the X factor. The Houston right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Picking up the save was Bob Young, his 21st. With the win, Houston raised its record to 67-59.

Hank Andrew drove in one run for Houston. The 1970 Kellogg Award winner had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Walt Portelli. It was his 62nd RBI of the season.

"We just didn't score enough runs to win," said Boston manager Dode Edwards.
