Drillers Win at Chicago, 5-4
The Houston Drillers did just enough to sneak past the Chicago Hawks, 5-4, at Hyde Park Stadium. Houston pitcher Jerry White, in particular, had a standout performance. Reliever Tim Fried picked up the win. His record improves to 2-3. Chuck Hentschel took the loss. The Drillers raised their record to 9-5.

Houston used the bat of Manny Riojas to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Drillers ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Riojas, "one at-bat at a time."
