Drillers Bedevil Hawks, 3-2
In a tight tilt between the Houston Drillers and the Chicago Hawks, Bill Switzer was the deciding factor. The Houston left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Houston now owns a record of 37-25.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Houston left fielder Mike Wells, facing Alfredo Alvarado, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Drillers the 3-2 win.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Houston skipper Tom Harrington.
