Knights Get Past Houston for 5-4 Win
Los Angeles shortstop Barney Smith helped his team beat the Houston Bulls, 5-4. Smith went 3 for 4 for the Knights. The winning pitcher was George Kyle. He's now 7-10. He went 9 innings, allowing 4 runs on 11 hits for the Knights. The Knights saw their win-loss record go to 35-43. At the same time, the Bulls fell to 50-30.

Had Jay Woods not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Woods hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Knights.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Woods.
