| Rangers Win, 8-2, at Hollywood | The Houston Rangers beat the Hollywood Hitters, 8-2, at Hitters Park. Houston third baseman Jason Cole had an outstanding performance. He went 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. The third-place Rangers improved to 25-27.
Houston used a big swing from Jim Racine to get the win. The left fielder walloped a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rangers up, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it changed the outcome.
"What a dismal performance," lamented losing manager David Fields. | | | | |
