Titans Need Extra Innings to Top Ironmen, 5-4
The Houston Titans turned back the Pittsburgh Ironmen, 5-4, at PNC Park. Jared Young, in particular, had a fine performance. He went 2-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Picking up the save was Dylan Floro. He's now 2 for 7 in save chances. The victory gives Houston a record of 62-40.

Young had a game-changing home run in the top of the 11th. On a 0-1 splitter from Yariel Rodriguez, he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Titans a 5-4 lead. It was the 15th home run of the year for Young.

"I felt good about my swing," said Young.
