Cincinnati Downs Houston, 4-1
Aaron Nola, who is tied for 3rd in the UL with a 0.98 WHIP, pitched well, but the Houston Titans still fell short, losing, 4-1, to the Cincinnati Stars at New League Park. Tyler Ferguson, credited with the save, is now 11 for 13 in save opportunities. With the win, the Stars have a record of 43-43.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Marcus Betts? The Cincinnati shortstop had a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put the Stars on top, 2-1. For the game, Betts had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I thought we played a nice game," Betts told the Cincinnati Times. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
