Drillers Strike Down Pobladores, 9-2
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Houston Drillers and Los Angeles Pobladores.

Houston shortstop Jim Johnson played a vital role in his team's 9-2 conquest of Los Angeles. He went 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Houston. Francisco Castro got the win, improving to 1-4. He held the Pobladores to 2 runs on 5 hits over 6.2 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 2.

Mickey Hoffman aided the Houston cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth. For the game, the second baseman was 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Hoffman told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."

The loss makes Los Angeles 20-23.
