Drillers Walk It Off for 65th Win of Season
The Houston Drillers had to overcome a fine effort from Baltimore pitcher Larry Diego to win, 5-4, at Sam Houston Field. Diego went 6 innings and allowed 3 runs. The win went to Milt Erb in relief, making him now 2-0. Gilberto Rivera took the loss for Baltimore. The Drillers improved their record to 65-57 by beating Baltimore.

Chuck Walton was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Drillers shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's great to see the crowd jacked up," Walton said.
