CF Frost, Drillers Destroy Wranglers, 11-1, to Force Game 7
The Houston Drillers and the Dallas Wranglers will take the League Championship Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation, the Drillers beat the Wranglers, 11-1, at Bluff Park to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Houston center fielder Jackie Frost went 4-6 with 3 doubles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2.

Frost got the Drillers off to a quick start. In the top of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double.

"Things broke our way today and that's great," Drillers manager Tom Harrington said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Bluff Park in Dallas.
