Bandits Suffer 5-3 Home Defeat
The Houston Titans racked up a win at Tony Gwynn Memorial Field, bumping off the Tampa Bay Bandits, 5-3. Luis Castillo, who started for Houston, pitched effectively for his team. Castillo got the win, improving to 8-5. He gave up 3 hits and walked 1 over 6.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. The Titans improved their record to 73-48 by beating Tampa Bay.

Houston took a 3-1 lead on Joey Ortiz's 11th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Ortiz hit in the top of the seventh, left Tampa Bay pitcher Shane McClanahan visibly frustrated.

"Enjoyed this one," Castillo told the Houston News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
