Northmen Triumphant, 6-4, at Sam Houston Field
The Twin Cities Northmen withstood an impressive performance by Houston second baseman Lou Ward to defeat the Drillers, 6-4, at Sam Houston Field. Ward went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Twin Cities reliever Rick Lindstrom, now 4-5. The loser was Dick Witt. The 6th-place Northmen go to 22-31.

Twin Cities needed the clutch hitting of David Davalos to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Northmen on top, 6-4. For the game, Davalos had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Twin Cities manager Jason Gudim called it "a darn good win."
