The rain did not keep Houston and Los Angeles from finishing their game.

The Houston Drillers defeated the Los Angeles Pobladores, 11-2. Left Fielder Mike Wells deserved a large share of the credit. Wells went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Drillers. For the Pobladores, the loss makes them 8-15.

With Houston leading 5-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Wells came up to bat against Los Angeles pitcher Carlos Novoa. Wells hit a fastball to center for a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season put the Drillers on top, 8-1.

Los Angeles manager Kurt Peterson called the blowout loss "undesirable."
