Drillers Win at Dallas, 13-5
Drillers left fielder Mike Wells left his imprint on his team's 13-5 win over the Dallas Wranglers. Wells went 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for Houston in the contest. Larry Bilski earned the win for Houston. He lasted 8 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 2-0. Dallas, now 4-11, continues its tough start.

Houston used a well-timed hit by Paul Parkyn to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Drillers ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Parkyn said. "And the same is true when you lose."
