Titans Earn 3-2 Win Versus Sharks
The Houston Titans earned a close win over the New York Sharks, thanks in part to Chase Burns. The Houston right-hander, who is tied for 8th in the UL in strikeouts with 108, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Orion Kerkering recorded the save, making him 14 for 18. With the win, Houston raised its record to 42-40.

Houston took a 3-2 lead on Sal Stewart's 15th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Stewart hit in the bottom of the eighth, left New York pitcher Gregory Santos visibly frustrated.

"For the most part, I stayed out of the middle of the plate," Burns said.
