Terriers Score Late to Beat Drillers, 4-3
Atlantic Avenue Grounds was the site of quite a ballgame.

The Boston Terriers faced a tough opponent in Houston pitcher Bill Switzer, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Atlantic Avenue Grounds by a final score of 4-3. Switzer went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. Sergio Cisneros, now 7-2, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 0 and walking 2.

Eddie Hernandez was the walk-off hero for Boston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Terriers center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Hernandez.

Boston is now 58-67, Houston 70-57.
