Munson goes 4-for-4 as Blues Squeeze Past Houston
The Kinuso Blues did just enough to secure a victory over the Houston Colt .45s, 7-6, at Blues Ballpark. Nobody did more than catcher Thurman Munson. Ken Brett nailed down his 15th save. With the win, Kinuso pushed its record to 50-49.

Munson had a big at-bat with a runner on 1st in the bottom of the third inning, when he hit a run-scoring triple. The Blues went on to win.

"Enjoyed this one," Munson told the Kinuso Gazette. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
