Mavericks Win Pitchers' Duel, 2-1, Versus Texans
In a low-scoring affair between the Houston Mavericks and the Dallas Texans, pitcher Luke Whalen was the difference between victory and defeat. The Houston right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 2-1 Mavericks win. Matthew Browning closed the door for Houston, picking up his 1st save of the year. The defeat makes Dallas 25-28.

Matthew McCormick, who finished 4th in the PBC in batting average with .337 in 2015, helped out the Houston cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the third baseman was 1-3 with a double and was hit by a pitch.

McCormick was in a reflective mood after the contest. He told the Houston Times, "Every game is it's own challenge. That's what keeps the competitive fire alive."
