Ernie Ronnebaum had a big hand in the 16-7 Chicago triumph over Houston. He rattled off 4 hits in 4 at-bats, scoring 4 times and knocking in 2 runs. Chicago starter Ken Eldridge was credited with the win after throwing 107 pitches over 5.2 innings. His record now stands at 2-5. The Drillers, at 27-43, have lost 4 in a row.

Chicago catcher Don Bozza made an impact. He drilled a single in the bottom of the fifth. In the contest, Bozza was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 4.

"I'm proud to wear a Chicago jersey," Bozza told the Chicago Daily. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
