Drillers Earn Late Win
Sam Houston Field played host to some exciting baseball.

The Houston Drillers picked up a win at Sam Houston Field, knocking off the Chicago Hawks, 7-6. On the mound for Houston was right-hander Dick Knight. He played a key role in the triumph. Houston reliever Tom McAteer picked up the win to move to 4-2. Gary Ingram suffered the loss.

Mark Sisson was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Drillers left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"The fans went nuts at the end," Knight said.

Houston has won 3 straight, while Chicago has lost 3 in a row.
