Dallas turned a good effort from starter Steve Coomes into a win over the Houston Drillers at Bluff Park. The final score was 2-1. The win went to Frank Dunn in relief, making him now 8-5. Hank Mitchell took the loss for Houston. Dallas has now won 3 in a row.

The Wranglers were down to their final out when center fielder Rick Adams turned a 1-2 fastball from Hank Mitchell into a 2-run single. The walk-off single made the Bluff Park crowd go wild.

"Can't say enough about our pitching," said Adams.
