Titans Hand New York 2-1 Loss
Starting pitcher Dane Dunning gave the Houston Titans a rock-solid effort. The Jacksonville, Florida native helped his team defeat the New York Sharks, 2-1, at New League Park. The winner was Dunning. He threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Sonny Gray. Josh Sborz was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 5 of 6 save opportunities.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Titans had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the third, when right fielder Nathan Lukes hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Sonny Gray and made the score 2-1, Titans. Lukes was 1-4.

"If you chase it, you need to get it," said Houston skipper Stephen Strzepek.

Houston is now 81-58. New York is 66-73.
