Hawks Topple Drillers with Late Rally
The Chicago Hawks withstood a fine game by Houston right fielder Mike Lockhart at Hyde Park Stadium, to upend the Drillers, 8-7. Lockhart was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Hawks improved their record to 52-77 with the win over Houston.

Lexington, Kentucky-born Ray Gardner came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the eighth, with the bases loaded and the Hawks trailing 7-6, he hit a 2-run single to left to put Chicago on top.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Mike Flaherty said.
