St Louis Loses, 5-3, in 12
Thairo Estrada did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to spare the St Louis Sluggers an extra-inning, 5-3 loss to the Houston Titans at New League Park. Estrada was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Brennan Hanifee earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 2-2. Houston is now 62-77. St Louis is 64-75.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bryan De La Cruz in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a 2-run home run off 31-year old left-handed pitcher Bennett Sousa to win the game for Houston. The home crowd went nuts.

"This game was intense," De La Cruz said, postgame.
