Seagulls Get Past Houston, 7-6
Despite a fine performance by third baseman Wade Fields, the Houston Drillers lost to the San Francisco Seagulls, 7-6, in 10 innings. Fields was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The win puts San Francisco at 51-28 this season.

San Francisco used a timely hit from Bobby Tapia to get the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Seagulls ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Tapia told the San Francisco Citizen.
