Drillers Pick Up 8-4 Win Against Chicago
The 8-4 Houston win over Chicago was due largely to Jackie Frost. The Drillers right fielder was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The Drillers have an impressive 99-62 record.

Houston shortstop Jim Johnson helped the Drillers go up, 3-2, in the top of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Johnson hit a run-scoring single off Chicago pitcher Doug Smilanich.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Frost said. "We did a good job of that today."
