Drillers Pop Hawks, 11-1
Houston Drillers starter Mike Brown was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Chicago Hawks, 11-1. With the win, Houston pushed its record to 80-54.

The Hawks had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Drillers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old second baseman Lou Ward came to the plate. Ward hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch slider from Chicago hurler Mike Haskett. It was Ward's 15th double of the year.

"Mike was dictating to their hitters," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
