Drillers Clip Industrials, 5-4, in WS Contest
The Houston Drillers defeated the Pittsburgh Industrials, 5-4, in Game 2 of the World Series. Making an impact was second baseman Lou Ward, who was 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs. The win moves Houston into a 1-1 tie with Pittsburgh in the series.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the third. That's when Ward hit a fastball from Dennis Visco for a run-scoring single, putting Houston up, 5-1.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Ward told the Houston Today.

The next game is set to be played for Thursday, October 24th , 1974 at Sam Houston Field in Houston.
