Colt 45s Victors, 17-7, at Birmingham
The Houston Colt 45s topped the Birmingham Black Barons, 17-7, in National League action at Rickwood Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Houston second baseman Russ Adams. Roger Clemens picked up the win, improving his season record to 1-0. He struck out 7 in 5.1 innings. The victory makes Houston 3-6.

Houston used a well-timed hit by Jorge Posada to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Colt 45s ahead, 7-4. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Houston manager Daniel Makonnen was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.
