Vipers Earn Late 7-6 Win
Despite a fine performance by first baseman Rafael Devers, the Houston Titans lost to the Texas Vipers, 7-6. Devers was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The win gives Texas a season record of 74-67.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Davis Schneider came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Houston pitcher Alex Lange, he hit a 0-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Texas on top, 7-6.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Schneider said.
