Drillers Stay Hot With 8-5 Win
The Houston Drillers trumped the Chicago Hawks, 8-5, at Sam Houston Field. Houston right fielder Jackie Frost was terrific. He was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was 31-year old right-handed pitcher Jerry Zaruba. He tossed 126 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits. Houston has now won 7 games in a row.

With Houston leading 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh, Frost hit a slider from Bruce Hix for a grand slam home run. It was his 18th home run of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 8-3.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
