Mavericks Win Nail-Biter
In a high-scoring game between Houston and Toronto, first baseman Joe Higgins was a difference-maker. The 27-year-old helped Houston grab the 11-10 win. He went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Houston has an impressive 35-9 record.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 12th, until Higgins delivered big-time for Houston, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Clint Surratt. The game-changing hit put the Mavericks on top, 11-10.

"We battled our tails off to get this win," said Houston manager Kevin Read.
