McStay Stellar as Drillers Coast to 12-2 Win
The Seattle Emeralds took it on the chin, losing, 12-2, to the Houston Drillers. Rick McStay, who is tied for 9th in the ABL in wins with 14, pitched a strong game for Houston. The loss makes Seattle 69-75.

McStay was effective for Houston, seldom allowing the Emeralds to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 104 pitches over 9 innings. He limited Seattle to just 2 runs on 5 hits.

"It's about putting our team in the best position to win ballgames," said McStay.
