Loss to Drillers Extends Chicago Losing Streak
The Houston Drillers knocked off the Chicago Hawks, 7-3, at Sam Houston Field. Mike Lockhart was a big reason Houston won. The left fielder was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Chicago is in the throes of a long losing streak, which is now 10 games.

With Houston leading 1-0 in the bottom of the third, Lockhart hit a fastball from Johnny Russell for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 4-0.

"We gave it the old college try," said Chicago manager Mike Flaherty. "But the old college try wasn't good enough."
