Wranglers Suffer 6-1 Home Defeat
Houston catcher Lute Eccles was instrumental in helping the Drillers triumph, 6-1, over the Dallas Wranglers. Eccles went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Francisco Castro, the winner, goes to 13-2. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts over 6.1 innings. The American Baseball League Western Division-leading Drillers are 60-39.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jackie Frost? The Houston right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Drillers on top, 5-1. For the game, Frost had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We've got a great group of guys," Frost said, "and we're having fun right now."
