Drillers Score Late, Upend Hurons, 6-4
The Houston Drillers picked up a win at Dominion Field, taking down the Toronto Hurons, 6-4. Starting pitcher Bill Switzer was a big reason why. Houston reliever Larry Bilski got the win, raising his record to 4-3. Ron Haney was tagged with the loss. Billy Gray earned the save for Houston, his 2nd of the year.

Houston took a 6-4 lead on Mark Sisson's 8th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Sisson hit in the top of the ninth, left Toronto pitcher Ron Haney visibly frustrated.

"Winning never gets dull," said Sisson.

Houston goes to 11-12.
