Late Rally by Aces Locks Up 5-2 Win
The Las Vegas Aces rode a solid performance from 24-year-old starting pitcher Sam Cross to a win, beating the Houston Mavericks, 5-2, at Mavericks Ballpark. Cross, the winner, moves to 8-5. He threw 7 innings of 1-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 5 walks. Las Vegas now has a record of 49-35 with the win.

Las Vegas used the timely hitting of Dave Gruhn to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Aces on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I went out and just tried to do my job," said Cross.
