Pobladores Snatch Late-Game, 3-2 Win
The Los Angeles Pobladores did just enough to sneak past the Houston Drillers, 3-2, at Sam Houston Field. Los Angeles pitcher Dan Turner, in particular, had a standout performance. Turner got the win, improving to 10-3. He gave up 4 hits and walked 2 over 8 innings. He allowed 2 runs. Leon Fairley, who leads the ABL in saves with 20, earned the save for Los Angeles.

Bob Wicke had a direct impact on the outcome. Wicke contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the ninth inning to put Los Angeles up, 3-2.

"It's a mindset," said Turner. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."

With the win, Los Angeles raised its record to 56-49.
