Morgan Shines in 7-5 Houston Win
Joe L Morgan was a major factor in the 7-5 Houston win over St. Louis. The Colt .45s second baseman was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win gives Houston a season record of 25-17.

Houston grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Morgan, who finished 4th in the CL in triples with 10 in 1966, hit a 2-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season put the Colt .45s out in front, 6-4.

"We take it day by day here," said Morgan, "and today was a good one for us."
