Drillers Victors, 4-2, at New York
Danilo Molina pitched well, but the New York Empires still lost the game, falling, 4-2, to the Houston Drillers at Queens Field. The victory gives Houston a record of 64-60.

Houston used a timely hit from Don Martinez to get the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Drillers ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Just glad I could help us get a win," said Martinez.
