Drillers Clip Generals, 6-5, in DR Contest
When the games really matter, the Houston Drillers put on their best show, beating the Atlanta Generals by a final score of 6-5. Jackie Frost went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2. The series now sits at 1-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Houston shortstop Jim Johnson, facing Joe Johnson, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Drillers the 6-5 win.

"We had a chance to win," said Atlanta manager Philipe Yazzie, "but we didn't get it done."

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Atlantic Station Field in Atlanta.
