Thornton Shines in 7-6 Houston Win
The Houston Mavericks beat the Dallas Texans, 7-6, at Everything's Bigger in Texas Ballpark. Houston right fielder Jonathan Thornton had an outstanding performance. He went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Dave Kaminski earned save number 9 this season. The Mavericks, at 63-21, have a comfortable 16½-game lead in their division.

Houston won the game in part because of Chris Oldfield. The designated hitter ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Mavericks ahead, 3-0. For the game, Oldfield had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We were able to put some good swings on some pitches," Thornton told the Houston Chronicle.
