Drillers 8-5 Winners Versus San Francisco
A 3-RBI performance from right fielder Jackie Frost, who led the ABL in wins above replacement with 10.3 in 1971, led the Houston Drillers to a win over the San Francisco Seagulls, 8-5. Rick McStay, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-1. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 6 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 4. Dick Witt finished to wrap up his 1st save.

Lou Ward had a key at-bat with one out in the top of the seventh for Houston. With the bases loaded and the Drillers leading 6-5, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Ward.

The loss drops the Seagulls to 11-5.
