Berman, Northmen Beat Drillers, 10-7
A 3-RBI performance from Chris Berman, who finished 4th in the ABL in doubles with 38 in 1973, helped the Twin Cities Northmen beat the Houston Drillers, 10-7. Steve Eaton earned the save for Twin Cities, his 6th of the year. Twin Cities has won 3 straight, while Houston has lost 6 in a row.

Noland Lockhart drew 1 walk for Twin Cities. The 24-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring walk off Tom McAteer. It was his 22nd walk of the season.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
