Twin Cities Northmen starter Syed Farooqi pitched effectively against the Houston Drillers at Sam Houston Field. The right-hander spearheaded his team's 4-3 win. Twin Cities now sports a record of 50-73.

Steve Pavey, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1966 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Pavey contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put Twin Cities up, 4-3.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Pavey.
