Floundering Drillers Lose 6th Straight
The Houston Drillers got a sterling performance from pitcher Larry Bilski, but the Detroit Wolverines still prevailed, 4-3. Bilski threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Houston's current losing streak is now 6 games.

Detroit used a timely hit from Bob Lutz to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Wolverines ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"From the last whatever, five, six, seven games, there's really only one way to go and that's up," said losing manager Tom Harrington.
