The Houston Drillers picked up a win at Sam Houston Field, dropping the Seattle Emeralds, 4-3. Rick McStay, who is tied for 8th in the ABL in strikeouts with 117, was the difference-maker. The Drillers now have a mark of 68-56.

Lou Ward went 2 for 3 with 2 singles for Houston. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Leon Finkel. It was his 51st RBI of the season.

"Rick was dictating to their hitters," said Houston manager Jared Placeholder.
