A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Houston Drillers and Seattle Emeralds.

The Houston Drillers knocked off the Seattle Emeralds, 5-3, in American Baseball League action at Sam Houston Field. Houston pitcher and Portland, Oregon, native Bill Switzer had an outstanding performance. The winner was Switzer. He threw 6.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Rob Banas. Jeff Ferguson earned his 2nd save, after closing out the game.

Houston left fielder Mike Wells contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a cutter to left-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 60th hit of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 5-2.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Wells.

Seattle, at 27-28, has lost 4 straight.
