Houston scored the decisive runs in a big top of the 9th inning when they came up with 5 runs on 5 hits. The big moment was provided by Mark Bailey who quieted the home crowd when he slapped a one-base hit scoring two baserunners. Houston had 17 hits for the game and St. Louis had 12.
The victory was credited to Frank Dipino(4-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs. Jeff Lahti(2-2) was given the loss in relief.
