Comets Blackburn Stops Millers
The Houston Comets posted a 2-0 shutout over the Minneapolis Millers behind a strong performance by Johnny Blackburn. The Comets pitcher, who is tied for 2nd in the FA in complete games with 9, held the Millers to 1 hit while walking 3 and fanning 5 in the route-going win.

"It feels good to be wearing a Houston Comets uniform today," the right-hander said, following the game.

This season, Blackburn has worked 239.1 innings with 145 strikeouts en route to a 13-14 record and a 3.20 ERA.
