Northmen Earn Late Win
In a tight contest between the Twin Cities Northmen and the Houston Drillers, Bob Freeland was the determining factor. The Twin Cities left-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. Rick Lindstrom snagged the win in relief. He goes to 6-4 on the season. Jerry Zaruba suffered the loss. Houston now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

Pete Walker went 2 for 3 with 2 singles for Twin Cities. The 25-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jerry Zaruba. It was his 35th RBI of the season.

"We were in it," said Houston manager Tom Harrington. "We just didn't score enough runs."
