The Denver Bears defeated the Houston Titans, 14-12, at New League Park. Leading the charge for Denver was third baseman Enmanuel Valdez. He was 2 for 5 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. The Denver winning streak has reached 3 games.

Denver used the clutch hitting of Christian Encarnacion-Strand to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Bears the lead, 14-12. For the game, Encarnacion-Strand had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Denver skipper Aaron Hill.
