Slumping Emeralds Lose 6th Straight
Houston picked up a win at Puget Field, bumping off the Seattle Emeralds, 4-2. Pitcher Francisco Castro was a major reason the Drillers emerged victorious. Jerry Pederson picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Dave Alexander suffered the loss. The Emeralds, now 14-23, have lost 6 in a row.

Houston used the timely hitting of Mike Wells to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Drillers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Nervous? No," said Wells. "It was my time to shine."
