Habitants Collect 6-5 Win Over Drillers
LaSalle Stadium played host to some high drama.

The Houston Drillers got a superb performance from pitcher Francisco Castro, but the Montreal Habitants still won the game, 6-5. Castro threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The first-place Habitants, at 88-52, now lead their division by 10 games.

The Habitants got a clutch hit from second baseman Ken Terry. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Habitants.

"This game had its share of tense moments," Terry said, postgame.
