Colt 45s Take Down Black Barons, 6-5
The Houston Colt 45s overcame a big game from Birmingham third baseman Eddie Mathews to pick up a win at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 6-5, Houston, in 12 innings. Mathews went 3-4 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Tug McGraw notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.2 innings. His record now sits at 3-3. The 4th-place Colt 45s sport a record of 32-42.

The Colt 45s got a clutch hit from designated hitter Tony Gwynn. In the bottom of the 12th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Colt 45s.

Gwynn said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
