Houston Beats Pittsburgh in World Series
Saturday, October 26th , 1974
It was all about winning for the Houston Drillers -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said right fielder Jackie Frost, who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

Houston defeated the Pittsburgh Industrials by a score of 5-3 at Sam Houston Field to take the series 4-1.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said Houston manager Jared Placeholder. "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
