Houston Drops Louisville, 7-5
Starting pitcher Fred O'Brien pitched well enough to help the Houston Colt .45s beat the Louisville Redbirds, 7-5. With the win, Houston goes to 38-24, while the Redbirds fall to 24-38.

Houston used the timely hitting of Eric Tucker to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Colt .45s on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

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