Houston Earns 4-3 Win
The Houston Titans scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the Chicago Explorers at New League Park. Houston pitcher Triston McKenzie held his own in the contest. The win puts Houston at 71-64 this season.

Houston got a knockout punch from Bryan De La Cruz. The designated hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Triston made his pitches," said Houston manager Joe Smith.
