Carolina Beats Houston, 2-1
The Houston Titans wasted an inspired, 5.1-inning effort from starter Andrew Morris, falling, 2-1, to the Carolina Riptides at IBM Field. Carolina reliever Brooks Raley picked up the win, upping his record to 7-3. Ethan Roberts was saddled with the loss. Carolina is now 87-57, 10½ games up in the Union League Eastern Division.

Carolina shortstop Brice Matthews helped the Riptides go up, 2-1, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Matthews hit a run-scoring single off Houston pitcher Ethan Roberts.

"This was a game where every at-bat, every pitch counted," said Matthews.
