Critical Game 5 Goes to Host Drillers, 6-2
Game 5 was big. So was Larry Bilski.

In leading Houston to a crucial 6-2 victory over the Baltimore Lords at Sam Houston Field, the Houston starter rose to the occasion, tossing 7 good innings. Bilski threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball as the Drillers defended their home field to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Bilski delivered a quality start for Houston. The 5-foot-9 right-hander allowed 1 earned run on 4 hits over 7 innings of work.

"Larry pumped strikes and he made good pitches when he had to," said Houston manager Jared Placeholder.

The next game is set to be played for Friday, October 18th , 1974 at Seton Hill Stadium in Baltimore.
