| Black Aces Take Down Rangers, 9-8 | The Houston Black Aces beat the Texas Rangers, 9-8, in part because of right fielder Willie Keeler. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Reliever Vinegar Bend Mizell picked up the win. His record improves to 3-4. Michael Tonkin took the loss. The win elevated the Black Aces to 53-32.
Mike Tiernan, who finished 2nd in the PBL in stolen bases with 38 in 1988, aided the Houston cause with a 2-run triple in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the pinch hitter was 1 for 1 with a triple. He drove in 2 runs.
"It's always nice to be on the winning side," Tiernan told the Houston Gazette. "But we take nothing for granted."
