Seattle Beats Houston, 3-2
In a low-scoring clash between Seattle and Houston, pitcher Pat Burkholder was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned praise for his performance in the 3-2 Emeralds win. Burkholder got the win, improving to 5-0. He gave up 7 hits and walked 1 over 7 innings. He allowed 2 runs. Phil Moore finished the game for Seattle and earned his 3rd save.

Dustin Guest, who led the ABL in batting average with .332 in 1970, had a direct impact on the outcome. Guest contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Seattle up, 3-0.

Seattle manager Mark Velez commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."

Seattle goes to 14-11.
