The home crowd had a good time watching the Boston Terriers and Houston Drillers get after it.

Behind the hitting of Lou Ward, the Houston Drillers stopped the Boston Terriers, 15-1. Ward was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once for the Drillers. With the win, Houston raised its record to 75-51.

With Houston leading 11-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Ward came up to bat against Boston pitcher Mack Sutter. Ward hit a fastball to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 9th home run of the season put the Drillers on top, 15-0.

Boston manager David Molina called the blowout loss "not my idea of a good time."
