Houston got a valiant performance from pitcher Jay Hunt, but it wasn't enough to beat the Boston Minutemen. Boston won the game, 4-2. Hunt threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. With the win, Boston has a record of 71-60. Houston falls to 69-62.

Charlie Hartsell drove in one run for Boston. With one out and the game tied in the top of the seventh inning, Hartsell, who is tied for 10th in the FA in doubles with 24, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Houston hurler Jay Hunt, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Minutemen a 2-1 lead.

Hartsell said afterward that "winning is the goal."
