Mavericks Show Moxy in 4-3 Win
Starting pitcher Benno de Smit pitched well enough to help the Houston Mavericks beat the New Orleans Voodoo, 4-3. Houston is now 9-14, while New Orleans is 9-14.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jesus Mendieta in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 32-year old left-handed pitcher Gary Birley to win the game for Houston. The home crowd went nuts.

"Benno was aggressive right out of the chute," said Houston manager Eric Hartman.
