Hawks Win with Late Rally
Chicago and Houston took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

Houston first baseman Charlie Fee had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Fee was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2, even as Chicago beat the Drillers, 9-8, in 10 innings. The winner in relief was Ron Woods. He is now 5-12. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Ray Gardner to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Hawks on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Gardner told the Chicago Daily News.

The Hawks raised their record to 48-84.
