Northmen Make Drillers 2-1 Losers
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Houston Drillers home opener. Danny Prentice started for the home team against Charlie Sokol for the Twin Cities Northmen. The Drillers were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 2-1, Twin Cities. Charlie Sokol, though, was impressive. The winning pitcher was Sokol, now 1-0. He tossed 8.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 3. Curt Kirkley closed it out for his 1st save.

Ricky Flores, the 26-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Flores contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the second inning to put Twin Cities up, 2-0.

"We found a way to get it done," Sokol said.
