Mike Wells helped his team muscle past the Seattle Emeralds, 7-5. In the game, the Houston left fielder was 2 for 5 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Tom McAteer recorded the save, his 8th. The Drillers bumped their record to 24-14 with this win.

Mickey Hoffman, who is tied for 7th in the ABL in stolen bases with 10, chipped in a 2-run single for Houston in the bottom of the first. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Wells said (again).
