Lockhart goes 4-for-5 in Drillers Win
Good production from first baseman Mike Lockhart helped the Houston Drillers topple the Dallas Wranglers, 9-4. Lockhart went 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 5 for the Drillers. Jerry Zaruba was the winner. He's now 2-2. The loser was three-time All-Star Steve Coomes. The loss has the Wranglers at 4-12.

Early in the game, Lockhart had a 2-run triple for Houston. It was his 3rd triple of the season and put the Drillers on top, 2-0.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
