The Houston 1980 Astros grabbed a win, 7-4, over the Oakland 1990 Athletics at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

Mike Norris suffered the loss. Dave Smith closed the door for Houston 1980, picking up his 12th save of the year.

Houston 1980 used the hitting of Jose Cruz to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Astros on top, 7-4. For the game, Cruz had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"If it's down the middle," said Reynolds, "you might as well hit it."
