Down Goes Houston, 3-1, to Twin Cities
Twin Cities Northmen starter Ben Hall pitched his team past the Houston Drillers, 3-1. The Northmen improved their record to 36-46 with the win over Houston.

Buddy Shingleton, who finished 5th in the NBL in wins above replacement with 7.5 in 1966, had a direct impact on the outcome. Shingleton contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Twin Cities up, 1-0.

"Not enough offensively in a winnable game," said losing manager Steven Palps.
