Victory Pushes Titans Record to 11-5
The Houston Titans defeated the Phoenix Firebirds, 7-5, at New League Park. Houston center fielder Derek Hill had a superb performance. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Brady Basso earned the win to go to 2-1. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts in 5 innings of work. The victory makes Houston 11-5, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 2025.

Houston took a 7-3 lead on Hill's 3rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which he hit off Anthony Maldonado in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Houston to the win.

"Derek is still learning," said Titans manager Joe Smith. "The sky's the limit for him."
