Wranglers Walk It Off for 3rd Win of Season
The Dallas Wranglers used a great performance from Barry Gilmore, who led the ABL in saves with 25 in 1966, to beat the Houston Drillers, 2-1, at Bluff Park. With the win, Dallas boosts its record to 3-3.

Toby Golf was the walk-off hero for Dallas. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Wranglers second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Gilmore.
