Playing for the first time since August 15, Joseph Sullivan reached base four times with two walks, a hit by pitch, and RBI single.

Orlando Martinez doubled, walked, and scored three of his club's seven runs out of the lead-off spot.

Amilcar Chirinos was the lone Hooks hurler to escape unscathed, blanking the Drillers in the eighth.
