Drillers Roll to 8-3 Win Over Emeralds
The home crowd had a good time watching the Seattle Emeralds and Houston Drillers get after it.

Starting pitcher Syed Farooqi pitched well enough to help the Houston Drillers beat the Seattle Emeralds, 8-3. Farooqi, now 3-1, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing 3 runs.

Eddie Ellison, who is a seven-time All-Star, chipped in a 3-run home run for Houston in the bottom of the second. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"I felt good up there," said Ellison. "I saw the ball well."

The Emeralds drop to 12-14 and continue their mediocre start to the 1972 season.
