Behind a fine performance from Ernie Ronnebaum, the Chicago Hawks knocked off the Houston Drillers, 6-5. Ronnebaum was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Hawks. Alfredo Alvarado locked down his 1st save. The win gives Chicago a record of 6-5.

Garry Perritte was 1-3 with a double for Chicago. With one out and the game tied in the top of the ninth inning, Perritte had a clutch at-bat. Facing Houston hurler Tom McAteer, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Hawks a 6-5 lead.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Perritte, "one at-bat at a time."
