Thornton Excels, Houston Blows Out Toronto
The Houston Mavericks pounded the Toronto Titans, 18-1, at Mavericks Ballpark. Jonathan Thornton, who finished 2nd in the PBC in slugging percentage with .555 in 2005, had a solid game. He hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 5 for the Mavericks. Houston starter Steve Carter was credited with the win after throwing 113 pitches over 7.1 innings. His record now stands at 7-2. Houston has 3 straight wins, Toronto 6 straight losses.

Tom Smolar had a big 2-run double for the Mavericks in the bottom of the first inning. With Houston leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Phil Van Haren, who is tied for 6th in the PBC in complete games with 4, and swatted a double to left. It was his 10th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mavericks ahead, 3-0.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Houston skipper Jason Tudor.
