Amador Hits 2 home runs in Drillers Win
Houston and Atlanta engaged in a slugfest.

The Houston Drillers defeated the Atlanta Generals, 11-10, at Atlantic Station Field. Houston was led by three-time All-Star Armando Amador, who slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Warner Manning closed the game out for Houston, earning his 6th save.

Houston used the timely hitting of Rich Lewis to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Drillers on top, 11-10. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning makes the heart grow fonder -- for more winning," said Amador, cracking a smile.

The win elevated the Drillers to 79-72.
