| Houston Downs Texas, 4-1 | Starting pitcher Willie Foster took care of business, helping the Houston Black Aces stifle the Texas Rangers, 4-1. Foster got the win, improving to 2-2. He allowed 5 hits and walked 2 over 6 innings. Foster allowed 1 run. Sean Doolittle sewed up the save, his 9th.
Willie Keeler dealt the Rangers a blow in the top of the sixth. Batting with the bases empty and Houston leading 2-1, Keeler, who finished 2nd in the PBL in triples with 13 in 1993, hit a 2-2 fastball for a solo home run.
"You can never predict what'll happen," Foster said. "That's why you play the game."
The win hiked the Houston record to 28-21.
