Drillers Score Late, Clip Emeralds, 3-2
Houston pitcher Jerry Zaruba did his part in helping his team defeat the Seattle Emeralds, 3-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The Drillers win now puts them at 46-30.

Mickey Hoffman came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Zaruba.
