Emeralds Tuck Away 3-2 Win Over Houston
Pat Burkholder, who finished 2nd in the NBL in ERA with 2.16 in 1966, had a strong outing for the Seattle Emeralds against the Houston Drillers at Sam Houston Field. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 3-2 win. Burkholder got the win, improving to 6-7. He gave up 8 hits and walked 2 over 8 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The 6th-place Emeralds sport a record of 36-40.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Alex Rojas? The Seattle right fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Emeralds on top, 3-2. For the game, Rojas had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

After the game, Seattle manager Mark Velez applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
