Sisson Helps Drillers Defeat Generals, 8-4
Houston center fielder Mark Sisson was a significant contributor in his team's 8-4 triumph over the Atlanta Generals. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5 for the Drillers. Tom McAteer got credit for the win, improving to 10-9. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings. The winning continues for Houston, with the latest triumph making it 7 straight.

With Houston leading 5-3 in the bottom of the fourth, Sisson hit a fastball from George Palmer for a 3-run home run. It was his 19th home run of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 8-3.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Sisson told the Houston Today.
