Drillers Deal Seattle 6-2 Defeat
The Houston Drillers defeated the Seattle Emeralds, 6-2, at Sam Houston Field. Houston was led by slick-fielding center fielder Mickey Hoffman, who was 3-4 with a triple and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Bill Switzer finished the game for Houston and earned his 7th save. The loss drops Seattle to 13-14.

Hoffman had a game-changing triple in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-2 changeup from Bob Valentine, he banged a 2-run triple to right-center, giving the Drillers a 3-2 lead. It was the 1st triple of the year for Hoffman.

"It was our day today," Hoffman told the Houston Observer. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
