Behind the hitting of Toby Johnson, the Houston (GCL) Astros stopped the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates, 4-3. Johnson was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 times for the Astros. Jeff Shelton, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-0. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 8 and walking 2. Gil Jones earned the save for Houston (GCL), his 5th of the year.

Houston (GCL) used a timely hit from Jimmy Monroe to get the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I was a little disappointed," said Pittsburgh (GCL) manager Kyle Lohse. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

Houston (GCL) is now 11-12, while Pittsburgh (GCL) is 10-13.
