Mavericks Prevail, 5-3, Over St. Louis
The Houston Mavericks beat the St. Louis Lions by a score of 5-3. Houston third baseman Dan Meyer deserved the lion's share of the credit. Meyer went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Mavericks. Benno de Smit went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. The right-hander, who is tied for 9th in the WC with a 1.13 WHIP, struck out 8 and walked 4. With the win, he's now 4-3 this season. Raul Artiga collected his 2nd save.

Meyer had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of the seventh, when he hit a run-scoring single. The Mavericks went on to win.

Meyer attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."

The 9th-place Mavericks have a record of 18-25.
