4-1 Houston Win Thrills Crowd
The 4-1 Houston win over Seattle was due in large part to Al Thompson. The Drillers shortstop was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The setback makes Seattle 46-39.

Thompson delivered in the clutch for Houston. In the bottom of the 11th, he took a first pitch fastball from Seattle pitcher Fred Wild and parked it over the fence. The 3-run home run won it for Houston.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Thompson.
