Gray Stops Chicago
Houston Drillers pitcher Billy Gray really got it done at Hyde Park Stadium in a 4-0 shutout victory over the Chicago Hawks, shutting them down on 8 hits.

"It was just one of those games where everything went right. I threw a lot of strikes," Gray said. "And the pitches they did get to hit, they didn't do anything with them."

The 24-year-old issued 2 walks and had 3 strikeouts in the Drillers win.
