Gothams Get Past Houston for 6-5 Win
The New York Gothams did just enough to sneak past the Houston Comets, 6-5, at Gotham Stadium. New York pitcher Bunny Mullins, in particular, had a standout performance. Charlie French snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-0 on the season. Bob Young suffered the loss. The loss drops Houston to 17-16.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when New York third baseman Bill Jacobs, facing Al Bailey, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Gothams the 6-5 win.

"It's what good teams do, find a way to win," said Mullins.
