Guest Pobladores Win, 4-2, at Houston
Los Angeles turned a good effort from starter George Jakubowski into a win over the Houston Drillers at Sam Houston Field. The Pobladores won the game, 4-2. The winner was Los Angeles reliever Carlos Novoa, now 2-0. The loser was Larry Bilski. George Conrad recorded the save, his 1st.

Bob Wicke came through with a big-time hit for Los Angeles. The right fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We put together a nice win," Wicke said.

The win puts Los Angeles at 9-8.
