GAME 1 - Colt 45's 8, Expos 2
Turk Farrell (5-2, 3.20) won this game with his arm and his lumber. Houston's ace gave up solo run in the first and never looked back. With his team up by 7 runs he was removed from the game. If it was close he had plenty of stamina to continue. Montreal's ace, Bill Stoneman (1-4, 5.89) was victimized by his defense, but he still managed to concede 4 earned runs out of 7. Roman Mejia was big with the bat going 2 for 3 with 3 RBI and 2 walks for Houston.9/21 GAME 2 - Colt 45's 10, Expos 4
