Houston Stopped, 6-4, by Dallas
Starting pitcher Steve Coomes pitched well enough to help the Dallas Wranglers beat the Houston Drillers, 6-4. Coomes, now 18-7, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing 4 runs. Picking up the save was Vern Gould. He's now 3 for 5 in save chances.

Dallas catcher Fred Johnson helped the Wranglers go up, 5-4, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Johnson hit a run-scoring single off Houston pitcher Tom McAteer.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Coomes. "Successful pitchers do it."

The third-place Drillers have lost 4 straight games.
