Drillers Capture Close Win
The Houston Drillers and Chicago Hawks played an entertaining game for Sam Houston Field patrons.

Chicago right fielder Mark Morris had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Morris went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, even as Houston beat the Hawks, 6-5, in 11 innings. Houston reliever Hank Mitchell got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Mark Evert was tagged with the loss.

The Drillers got a clutch hit from center fielder Bobby Jackson. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Drillers.

"The house was rockin'," said Jackson.

The 4th-place Drillers have won 4 straight games.
