Benjamin Delivers Walk-Off Win for Bulls
Houston Bulls starter Tommy Shafer was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Dallas Centurions, 4-3. With the win, the Bulls have a record of 60-44.

Bobby Benjamin was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I got in a good groove," said Shafer. "I was getting some swings and misses."
