Sandy Koufax picked up the 2nd half of the season right where he left off, holding the Houston Hoots to one run on just 3 hits in 8 innings to send the Los Angeles Dynamos to a 3-1 win over the Houston Hoots. The win cuts the Houston lead in the National League to just one game. LA has now won 8 of their last 10 games. Jeff Bagwell gave Houston some hope when he hit a solo shot off Koufax in the 1st inning. But the Hoots wouldn’t get their 2nd hit until the 7th inning. Meanwhile, Bob Gibson also had a strong start. Chipper Jones tied things with a home run in the 2nd. LA finally got to Gibson in the 6th, doubling and singling twice to score two more runs. Lee Smith came in for LA in the 9th. Chuck Klein drew a leadoff walk, but Dave Bancroft hit into a double-play. Roberto Clemente singled before Smith struck out Mel Ott to end the game. Smith picked up his 7th save and has yet to allow an earned run. Koufax is now 7-1 this season with a 1.61 ERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
