Drillers 2-1 Winners Versus Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Pobladores went down to defeat to Jerry Zaruba and his Houston teammates. The final score was 2-1, in favor of the Drillers. Zaruba, now 7-11, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. Bill Switzer notched his 21st save in 25 chances.

Jim Johnson drove in one run for Houston. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jim Arndt. It was his 43rd RBI of the season.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Zaruba.

This win makes it 6 in a row for Houston.
