Drillers Snatch Late Win
The Houston Drillers defeated the New York Empires, 13-7, at Queens Field. Mike Wells produced 1 single and 1 double, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. The win elevated the Drillers to 23-12.

Houston used the clutch hitting of Wade Fields to snag the win. The third baseman drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Drillers ahead, 12-7. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Fields. "But I like how we're playing right now."
