Drillers Topple Wranglers, 11-8, as Sisson Shines
Houston center fielder Mark Sisson contributed significantly to his team's 11-8 win over the Dallas Wranglers. Sisson, who finished 2nd in the ABL in extra base hits with 62 in 1972, went 3 for 5 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Drillers. Bill Switzer locked down his 5th save. The setback makes the Wranglers 6-10.

With Houston leading 7-3 in the bottom of the seventh, Sisson came up to bat against Dallas pitcher Tim Jepperson. Sisson hit a fastball to right for a grand slam home run. His 6th home run of the season put the Drillers on top, 11-3.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Sisson, "one at-bat at a time."
