Drillers Snatch Late-Game, 3-2 Win
In a low-scoring contest between the Houston Drillers and the Los Angeles Pobladores, 24-year old right-handed pitcher Angel Colon proved to be the difference. The Houston right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Drillers win. The Drillers lead the American Baseball League Western Division by 5 games.

Mike Wells was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Drillers left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Wells.
