Hawks Slap 4-2 Loss on Houston
The Chicago Hawks and Houston Drillers played an exciting game.

The Chicago Hawks earned a win at Hyde Park Stadium, stopping the Houston Drillers, 4-2. Starting pitcher Johnny Russell played a big role in his team's success. Alfredo Alvarado recorded his 2nd save for Chicago.

Chicago took a 3-2 lead on Ray Gardner's 6th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Gardner hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Houston pitcher Larry Bilski visibly frustrated.

"I thought we played a nice game," Gardner told the Chicago Daily News. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

Chicago now sports a record of 19-31.
