Houston got a valiant performance from pitcher J.P. France, but it wasn't enough to beat the Chicago Explorers. Chicago won the game, 3-2. France threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Kyle Nelson earned the save for Chicago, his 1st. Losses have been few and far between for the Titans, now 20-9.

Jesus Sanchez, who is tied for 9th in the UL with a .645 slugging percentage, had a direct impact on the outcome. Sanchez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put Chicago up, 2-1.

"We busted our tails," said Houston manager Joe Smith. "But we came up short."
