Atlanta Beaten, 5-3, by Houston
The Houston Drillers beat the Atlanta Generals, 5-3. Houston pitcher and Guadalajara, Mexico, native Francisco Castro led the way. The win went to Jeff Ferguson in relief. His record improves to 4-4. Steve Papa took the loss. Dick Witt earned the save for Houston, his 5th of the year.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Jackie Frost came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Atlanta pitcher Steve Papa, he hit a 2-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 4-3.

Castro attributed the win to his team's "concerted effort."

Houston is now 28-32. Atlanta is 25-34.
