Houston Makes It 8 Straight with 7-6 Win
The Houston Drillers did just enough to secure a victory over the Atlanta Generals, 7-6, in 10 innings at Sam Houston Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Dick Knight. Hank Mitchell snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-0 on the season. Steve Papa suffered the loss. Houston has now won 8 straight, while the Generals have lost 3 in a row.

The Drillers got a clutch hit from right fielder Jackie Frost. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Drillers.

"We found a way to get it done," Frost said.
