Morgan Ensberg rocketed 2 homeruns and had 7 RBI as the Houston Astros
man-handled the Pittsburgh Pirates - the final score was 19 to 6.
 
Ensberg was spectacular at the plate.  He clubbed a two-run home run in the
1st inning, stroked a base-hit knocking in a run in the 2nd inning, lost the
ball over the fence for three runs in the 7th inning and doubled resulting in
a run in the 8th inning.  Houston provided plenty of action in the 2nd inning
which saw them score 6 runs on 6 hits and the 7th inning when they had 7 runs
on 7 hits.  Houston had 20 hits for the game and Pittsburgh had 11.
