Drillers Get 6-3 Win Versus Twin Cities
Houston Drillers starter Gary Decker was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Twin Cities Northmen, 6-3. Decker went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 7-3. Houston has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Tim Bennet? The Houston shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Drillers on top, 3-0. For the game, Bennet had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Bennet.
