San Francisco Defeated By Drillers, 4-1
Starting pitcher Rick McStay was a major factor in the 4-1 Houston Drillers triumph over the San Francisco Seagulls. The loss makes San Francisco 50-28.

Rich Lewis had a big run-scoring double for the Drillers in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Houston leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a curveball from 34-year old right-handed pitcher Pete Ragsdale and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Drillers ahead, 2-0.

"Rick -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Drillers manager Nate Nilsson. "He was the key to us winning."
