Houston Win Evens Series at 1
The Houston Drillers knotted up the Divisional Round at Mission Field, thanks in large part to starter Francisco Castro. Castro quieted the San Francisco Seagulls, enabling Houston to grab the 3-0 win and move into a 1-1 tie in the best-of-7 series.

Castro, a native of Guadalajara, Mexico, was dealing all game. He kept San Francisco hitters off-balance, while giving the Drillers 8 quality innings. Castro threw 106 pitches, allowing 5 hits and striking out 4.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Castro.

The next game is set to be played for Friday, October 4th , 1974 at Sam Houston Field in Houston.
