Hall Delivers Walk-Off Win for Drillers
Houston pitcher Larry Bilski had a large part in his team beating the Twin Cities Northmen, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Twin Cities falls to 18-12.

Charlie Hall was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Drillers second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I'm proud to wear a Houston jersey," Bilski told the Houston Observer. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
