Seattle Topples Houston, 6-4
The Seattle Emeralds beat the Houston Drillers, 6-4. Seattle pitcher and Warren, Michigan, native Pat Burkholder led the way. Darrell Klug earned the save, his 21st. With this game in the books, Seattle is 35-38, Houston 29-45.

Seattle used a clutch at-bat from Al Link to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Emeralds ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Pat is tough when he's hitting his spots," said Seattle manager Mark Velez.
