Baltimore right fielder Bobby Capps had a good game, even if his team did not. The Lords dropped a 5-4 decision to Houston at Seton Hill Stadium. Capps was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Houston is now 94-68, while Baltimore is 81-81.

The Drillers got a big at-bat from third baseman Bob Rawlins. For the game, Rawlins was 1-5 with a triple, while adding 2 RBI. In the top of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run triple. His 5th triple of the season gave Houston a 2-0 lead.

"There's never a lack of effort in our clubhouse. We're willing to do the little things to get the win," Rawlins told the Houston Gazette.
