Drillers Capture Close Win
Puget Field was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Houston Drillers and Seattle Emeralds.

Despite a great performance by Seattle third baseman Charlie Hall, the Houston Drillers defeated the Emeralds by the score of 6-5 at Puget Field. Hall was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. At 73-48, the Drillers claim second place in the American Baseball League Western Division.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Mike Lockhart? The seven-time All-Star Lockhart stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Houston up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Lockhart.
