With Late Score, Terriers Beat Drillers
The Boston Terriers got a stellar effort from pitcher Ron Gordon, helping Boston score a win over the visiting Houston Drillers, 2-1. Layton Taylor, now 9-8, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Boston is 68-68 and Houston, with the loss, 70-67.

The decisive blow was delivered by Hank Cummings in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 30-year old left-handed pitcher Bill Switzer to win the game for Boston. The home crowd went nuts.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Cummings said.
