Lords Suffer One-Run Loss at Houston
Nate Summers could take little solace in pitching a good game. The fact is his Baltimore Lords lost, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Houston Drillers at Sam Houston Field. The winner was Tom McAteer, who threw 79 pitches over 6.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 5 hits. Baltimore has now lost 4 consecutive games.

The Drillers got a big at-bat from left fielder Mike Wells. For the game, Wells went 1-3 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 22nd home run of the season gave Houston a 3-2 lead.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Wells.
