The Houston Colt 45s trumped the Kansas City Monarchs, 9-5, at Minute Maid Park. Houston catcher Will Smith was terrific. He went 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Roy Oswalt earned the win to go to 7-10. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts in 5 innings of work. Houston now has a record of 73-69 with the win.

Second Baseman Craig Biggio made an impact for Houston, when he swatted a run-scoring double off Matt Morris in the bottom of the fifth. For the contest, Biggio went 1 for 5 with a double.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Smith.
