Drillers Drop Emeralds, 3-2
The Houston Drillers eked out a 3-2 win versus the Seattle Emeralds at Puget Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Rick McStay. He was terrific. The winner was McStay. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was John Walker. Warner Manning earned the save for Houston, his 4th of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mike Wells? The Houston left fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Drillers on top, 3-2. For the game, Wells had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Seattle skipper Mark Velez.

With the victory, the Drillers upped their record to 39-30.
