Starting pitcher Tom McAteer did his part in helping the Houston Drillers thwart the Chicago Hawks, 8-1. The triumph puts Houston at 45-42 for the season.

Houston center fielder Bobby Jackson contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the third. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 22nd hit of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 2-0.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Jackson.
