44,029 fans were treated to a fine game at Chase Field as only one run separated the combatants at game's end. The Albuquerque Dukes won by the slimmest of margins, 2 to 1.
The game was deadlocked at 1 after nine full innings. Albuquerque won the hard fought contest in the 10th inning. After two outs Elias Sosa laced a one-base hit. Rennie Stennett followed next and he doubled. Terry Puhl then lashed a single resulting in an exciting win for Albuquerque and a wild post-game celebration by the home town fans. Albuquerque won despite being out-hit by Houston 13 hits to 9.
Sosa(2-0) allowed no runs in 1 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the victory. Dennis Lamp(0-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. He surrendered 1 run and 3 hits in 2/3 of an inning.
