Smith Lifts Drillers to 7-1 Triumph
The Houston Drillers defeated the Seattle Emeralds, 7-1, at Sam Houston Field. Houston was led by 29-year old catcher Ivey Smith, who went 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Larry Bilski got the win, improving to 8-4. He held the Emeralds to 1 run on 3 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 9 and walking 1. The Drillers raised their record to 30-46.

With Houston leading 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Smith hit a curveball from Mike Harris for a solo home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 2-0.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
