Dallas 3-1 Victors at Sam Houston Field
Dallas Wranglers pitcher Charlie Sokol was in fine form, leading his team past the Houston Drillers, 3-1. Sokol, now 10-12, was the winner. In 8.2 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 0, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. The losing streak for Houston has now reached 4 games.

Dallas needed the clutch hitting of Steve Walp to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Wranglers on top, 2-0. For the game, Walp had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Walp said.
