Houston Drillers starter Jerry Zaruba hurled his team past the Dallas Wranglers, 7-2. The winning pitcher was Zaruba, now 1-1. He tossed 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. The Drillers, now 5-2, have been playing some good baseball.

The Drillers got a big at-bat from first baseman Mike Lockhart. For the game, Lockhart was 2-4 with a triple and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. In the bottom of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 2nd triple of the season gave Houston a 3-2 lead.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Dallas manager William Albrecht.
