Drillers Rally to Win, 5-4
The home crowd was treated to a thrilling, walk-off win.

At Sam Houston Field, the Houston Drillers edged the San Francisco Seagulls, 5-4, in 13 innings. Houston center fielder Mark Sisson, who jolted 1 home run, was a key contributor. The first-place Drillers have won 6 straight.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 13th. With no one out, Sisson hit a sinker from Dan Wood for a solo home run. The Drillers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I like our moxie," said Drillers manager Tom Harrington.
