Houston and Carolina duked it out and the Titans came out victorious.

Starting pitcher Chase Burns pitched well enough to help the Houston Titans beat the Carolina Riptides, 6-3. Houston reliever Caleb Thielbar was the winner. His record is now 4-2. Chris Martin took the loss.

Marcell Ozuna came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The left fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Glad to go home with a win," said Ozuna.

The 4th-place Titans have won 5 in a row.
