The Houston Drillers turned back the Twin Cities Northmen, 8-7, at Sam Houston Field. Mike Lockhart, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 2 for 3 with a triple and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Jeff Ferguson recorded the save, making him 10 for 14. Houston is now 57-53, while Twin Cities is 50-61.

Mike Wells drove in one run for Houston. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Charlie Sokol. It was his 71st RBI of the season.

"Nervous? No," said Wells. "It was my time to shine."
