Wells, Drillers Too Much for Wranglers
Houston first baseman Mike Wells was a significant contributor in his team's 13-5 triumph over the Dallas Wranglers. He was 1 for 1 with a home run and 4 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Drillers. Houston raised its record to 56-53 with the win.

Mark Sisson, who finished 4th in the ABL in extra base hits with 66 in 1971, helped out the Houston cause in the top of the second inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. For the game, the center fielder drove in one run, while scoring 2 runs.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Wells told the Houston Observer.
