Drillers Score Late to Nip Northmen, 3-2
Houston right-hander Syed Farooqi helped his team edge Twin Cities by the score of 3-2. Farooqi kept the opposing lineup in check. The win for the Drillers raised their record to 58-53.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bobby Jackson in the bottom of the 18th when he hit a run-scoring double off former first round draft pick Jeff Jordan to win the game for Houston. The home crowd went nuts.

"This house was rockin'," Jackson said.
