Win Streak Now at 9 for Drillers
Dave Van Loon imposed his will on the Hurons from the get-go. Relying mainly on his slider, the right-hander spearheaded the 4-1 Houston triumph. The winner was Van Loon. He threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Rick McIntyre. Houston improves to 56-34 with the win. They lead their division by 7½ games.

Eddie Ellison had a big 2-run double for the Drillers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Houston leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a splitter from Rick McIntyre, the 23rd overall pick in the 1963 draft, and swatted a double to center. It was his 14th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Drillers ahead, 3-0.

"Dave pitched his heart out," said Houston manager Steven Palps.
