Houston Downs Los Angeles, 8-4
Houston first baseman Wade Fields played a vital role in his team's 8-4 triumph over Los Angeles. He went 2-5 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for Houston. The Pobladores, now 2-17, continue their sluggish start.

Houston used the timely hitting of Ron Ketchum to capture the win. The catcher socked a grand slam home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Drillers ahead, 5-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"What we get, we earn," Fields told the Houston Times.
