Houston Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
Getting a good performance from shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, the Houston Titans defeated the Phoenix Firebirds, 5-4. Kim was 3 for 3 with 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Titans. The win went to Orion Kerkering in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Edwin Diaz took the loss. The setback makes Phoenix 17-18.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Houston left fielder Marcell Ozuna, facing Edwin Diaz, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Titans the 5-4 win.

"This place was electric at the end," Ozuna said.
