Morgan singled once, walked twice, stole two bases, scored three times, and made two outstanding plays at second to join Bench and another ex-Astro, Jack Billingham, in downing the Orange, 9-5, before 14,539 'customers. Bench contributed two homers, one an inside-the-park job in the first, plus a single and! four RBI's. Billingham pitched eight and one-third innings against the hometowners, and was in complete control until he had to leave in the ninth. And add to that list of former Astros who did in their old males Tuesday Denis Menke, who singled home a run in the sixth, if you really want to get picky, throw in ex-Houston man Cesar Geronimo, who singled in the fifth but didn't manage to score.
