Higgins Leads Mavericks to 8-5 Win Over Coyotes
Houston first baseman Joe Higgins was a significant contributor in his team's 8-5 triumph over the Salt Lake City Coyotes. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Mavericks. Ricardo Santana picked up the save for Houston, his 3rd of the year. The Mavericks, now 10-2, have stormed out of the gates.

Jonathan Thornton had a big 3-run home run for the Mavericks in the bottom of the third inning. With Houston leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a sinker from 32-year old right-handed pitcher Greg Claussen and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Mavericks on top, 5-0.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Higgins.
