Streaking Drillers Win Another One, 5-4
In a tight contest at Dominion Field, the Houston Drillers edged the Toronto Hurons by the score of 5-4. Houston first baseman Armando Amador, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Toronto's current losing streak has reached 5 games.

Houston used a well-timed hit by Lou Ward to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Drillers ahead, 5-3. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Drillers manager Steven Palps, "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."
