The Dallas Wranglers topped the Houston Drillers by a score of 9-3. Leading the way was third baseman John Hammit. Hammit was 4-5 with 3 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Wranglers. Frank Dunn earned the save for Dallas, his 9th of the year. Dallas has won 3 straight, while Houston has lost 3 in a row.

"When I'm in the lineup, I always feel like we're going to win the game," said Hammit.
