Colt 45s Clip Grays, 4-3
Houston pitcher Elton Chamberlain did his part in helping his team beat the Homestead Grays, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The loss drops Homestead to 13-13.

The decisive blow was delivered by Gorman Thomas in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 33-year old right-handed pitcher Robb Nen to win the game for Houston. The home crowd went nuts.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Thomas. "But I like how we're playing right now."
