Wranglers Win, 7-6, Versus Houston
The Dallas Wranglers outlasted the Houston Drillers, 7-6, in 10 innings. Ron Somers provided some punch at the plate for Dallas. He went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The win was credited to Brian Long in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Bill Switzer took the loss. The win puts Dallas at 46-39 this season.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Dallas right fielder Roger McCoy, facing Bill Switzer, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Wranglers the 7-6 win.

McCoy said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
