Bulls Score Late, Top Centurions, 3-2
Houston Bulls starter Ed Whetzel turned in a top-notch performance against the Dallas Centurions at Bulls Stadium. The result was a win for the Bulls, 3-2. Houston improves to 42-19 with the win. They lead their division by 4 games.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Bobby Benjamin came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Dallas pitcher Ed Brown, he hit a first pitch knuckle curve for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 3-2.

Benjamin called the win "a team effort."
