Drillers Take Nail-Biter Over Northmen
The Houston Drillers beat the Twin Cities Northmen, 6-5, in 10 innings. Houston first baseman Brian Fitch, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The second-place Drillers have won 4 in a row.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Houston right fielder Mike Lockhart, facing Jeff Jordan, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Drillers the 6-5 win.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Tom Harrington, the Houston skipper. "This one tested us."
