At Colt Stadium, the Houston fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel.  Jack

Sanford(3-4) finally bested his Houston opposite, Bob Bruce(2-3), by the

score of 2 to 1.

 

Sanford gave San Francisco a solid outing.  He went 7 and 1/3 innings

surrendering 7 hits and 3 walks improving his ERA from 3.80 to 3.44.  Overall

San Francisco out-hit Houston 12 to 7.  

 

Sanford got help from Stu Miller who earned his 6th save.  The loss was

charged to Bruce.  He got hit hard, allowing 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.

 

With the win, San Francisco continued their winning ways; their streak now

stands at 7 games and counting. 'We're running on all cylinders now', said

San Francisco's manager.  'I probably shouldn't change a thing and let the

guys continue to put up the wins.'
