Minutemen Defeated, 8-7, After Houston Rallies
The Houston Comets beat the Boston Minutemen, 8-7, at Dalton Domed Stadium. The Comets got a fine performance from catcher Jerry Robinson, who went 3-5 with 3 singles. He drove in 4 runs. The winner was Houston reliever Bob Young, now 9-6. The loser was Les Snyder. The Comets saw their win-loss record go to 69-61. At the same time, the Minutemen fell to 70-60.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Robinson hit a slider from Les Snyder for a run-scoring single. The Comets, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Robinson told the Houston Chronicle.
