Steve Rogers(1-1) and Jack Billingham(0-2) dueled it out with Rogers and the Houston Astros coming out on top of the Manchester Minutemen by the score of 3 to 0.
Houston took the lead for good in the 2nd inning scoring a single run utilizing 2 base hits. Jim Spencer doubled. After an out was recorded, Rogers stepped in and he stroked a single. The early run support proved sufficient for Rogers and Houston. That was all the run support Rogers required. Houston had only 4 hits for the afternoon.
Gene Garber recorded his 2nd save.
