Wranglers Drop Drillers, 6-5
The Dallas Wranglers topped the Houston Drillers by a score of 6-5 in 11 innings. Leading the way was left fielder Pat Simmons. Simmons went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Wranglers. The loss makes Houston 46-46.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With no one out, Simmons hit a curveball from Dick Witt for a solo home run. The Wranglers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"When I'm in the lineup, I always feel like we're going to win the game," said Simmons.
