Mavericks Win, 6-2, Versus St. Louis
The first-place Houston Mavericks picked up another win.

The Houston Mavericks got a stellar effort from pitcher Luke Whalen, helping Houston score a win over the visiting St. Louis Lions, 6-2. Whalen got the win, improving to 14-4. He gave up 6 hits and walked 3 over 8 innings. He allowed 2 runs.

Had Jonathan Thornton not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Thornton hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Mavericks.

"Luke throwing strikes, pounding the zone, that is exactly what you want to see," said Houston manager Kevin Read.

Houston is now 64-22, 17 games up in the Pacific Division.
