Colt .45s Win, Now 79-50
The 11-10 Houston win over Louisville was due largely to Jeff Murphy. The Colt .45s right fielder was 1-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The first-place Colt .45s improved to 79-50.

Ching Yo, who finished 3rd in the UL in stolen bases with 62 in 1965, chipped in for Houston with a solo home run in the top of the ninth. For the game, the shortstop had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 1 run batted in.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Houston manager Crash Davis.
