Extra-Inning Win by Drillers Over Wranglers
The Drillers earned a hard-fought, 5-4 win in 15 innings at Bluff Park. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Dallas pitcher Steve Coomes. Coomes went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. The Drillers now have a record of 44-27.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Mike Lockhart? The 32-year old right fielder Lockhart stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 15th inning to put Houston up, 5-4. For the game, he was 3 for 8, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"I like the roll we're on," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
