Seagulls Suffer 9-1 Road Loss
The Houston Drillers rode a solid performance from 27-year-old starting pitcher Rick McStay to a win, beating the San Francisco Seagulls, 9-1, at Sam Houston Field. The win boosted Houston to 65-54.

Mike Lockhart had a big 2-run double for the Drillers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Houston leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from Pete Ragsdale, who finished 4th in the ABL in ERA with 1.98 in 1967, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 25th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Drillers ahead, 4-1.

"What a dismal performance," lamented losing manager Al Borie.
