Drillers Rack Up 5-1 Win Versus Twin Cities
The Houston Drillers beat the Twin Cities Northmen, 5-1, at Twin Cities Stadium. Starting pitcher Larry Bilski was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The victory puts Houston at 27-39.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Lowell Bickle? The 30-year old second baseman Bickle stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Houston up, 2-0. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

Said Twin Cities manager Jason Gudim: "You just have to tip your cap sometimes."
