Chicago Makes Houston 3-2 Losers
The Chicago Hawks locked up a win at Hyde Park Stadium, knocking off the Houston Drillers, 3-2. On the mound for Chicago was left-hander Mike Haskett. He played a major role in the triumph. The save was credited to Angel Villatoro, his 15th. The Hawks, at 38-53, sit in last place in the American Baseball League Western Division.

Ernie Ronnebaum, who led the NBL in OPS with 1.048 in 1969, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two out and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Chicago left fielder hit a run-scoring single. That put the Hawks in front, 2-1.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Haskett.
