Houston Beats Seattle, 2-1
Houston pitcher Bill Switzer did his part in helping his team defeat the Seattle Emeralds, 2-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Houston is now 47-28. Seattle is 41-33.

Houston used the timely hitting of Jackie Frost to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Drillers on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Seattle skipper Mark Velez.
