Drillers Sneak By Habitants, 3-2
In a tight contest between the Houston Drillers and the Montreal Habitants, Tom McAteer was the determining factor. The Houston right-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. Houston has now won 5 straight, while the Habitants have lost 3 in a row.

The Drillers got a clutch hit from first baseman Mike Lockhart. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Drillers.

"This was one of those 'not to be denied' games," said Houston field general Steven Palps.
