Houston Upended by Chicago, 5-1
The 1977 season did not get off to quite the start the Houston Drillers had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Chicago Hawks at Sam Houston Field. The final score was 5-1. Starting Pitcher Dan Lee was the top performer for Chicago. Lee picked up the win for Chicago, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Alex Robinson? The Chicago first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Hawks on top, 1-0. For the game, Robinson had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Robinson said.
