In a great finish the Albuquerque Dukes came back in the top of the ninth and held on to win over the Houston Astros by a score of 9 to 6 at The Astrodome.
Albuquerque had the game winning rally in the top of the 9th inning when they scored 5 runs on 4 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Enos Cabell who silenced the crowd when he doubled bringing home two baserunners. Although they lost, Houston did out-hit Albuquerque 14 to 8.
The winning pitcher was Frank Tanana(1-0) who allowed no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. Gene Garber(0-2) absorbed the loss in relief. 'John O'Donnell was estatic following the game, 'You love stealing one on the road like this. We just kept plugging away until we pulled it out!'
