Colt 45s Sneak Past Red Sox, 7-6
The Memphis Red Sox got a superb performance from third baseman Wade Boggs. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Houston. The Colt 45s won the game, 7-6. Boggs was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Billy Wagner earned the save, his 2nd. The win for the Colt 45s lifted their record to 27-25.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Craig Biggio came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Memphis pitcher Heath Bell, he hit a first pitch sinker for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 7-5.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Biggio told the Houston News.
