Houston Beats Los Angeles, 6-3
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Houston Mavericks and Los Angeles Knights.

Houston pitcher Earl Dunbar had a large part in his team beating the Los Angeles Knights, 6-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Dave Kaminski closed out the game, earning his 7th save.

Joe Higgins had a big 2-run home run for the Mavericks in the top of the first inning. With Houston leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a cutter from Manny Sanchez, who finished 3rd in the PBC in innings pitched with 154.1 in 2007, and punished it. The result was his 16th home run of the season, which put the Mavericks on top, 3-0.

"You have to trust that what you're doing is going to produce results," said Dunbar.

The first-place Mavericks have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.
