Connor Wong was a major factor in the 11-5 Houston win over St Louis. The Titans catcher went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. With the win, Houston upped its record to 79-56.

Houston needed the clutch hitting of Jordan Westburg to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Titans on top, 6-5. For the game, Westburg had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Their at-bats were really impressive against us," said losing manager John Hawkins.
