Seagulls Win Thriller, 5-4
Mark Sisson did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Houston Drillers from being beaten, 5-4, to the San Francisco Seagulls at Mission Field. Sisson slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The American Baseball League Western Division-leading Seagulls are 57-32.

Bobby Tapia was the walk-off hero for San Francisco. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Seagulls left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Tapia told the San Francisco Citizen.
