Drillers Win Squeaker, 6-5, Over Emeralds
No one was more impactful than Mike Wells in the 6-5 Houston win over Seattle. Wells, who is tied for 5th in the ABL in home runs with 16, was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The winner in relief was Larry Bilski. He is now 7-8. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2 innings. Randy Robins earned the save, his 2nd, for the Drillers.

Sylacauga, Alabama native Mike Wells had a clutch at-bat in the top of the ninth for the Drillers. With Houston trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run single.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Drillers manager Jared Placeholder.

The win elevated the Drillers to 61-53.
