The Houston Aquas topped the Havana Metropolitanos, 5-0, in Western Conference action at Estadio Latinoamericano. The game was highlighted by the performance of Houston pitcher Yadisniel Saez. Saez, the winner, moves to 12-2. He threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 4 walks. Houston goes to 60-36. The win puts them 6½ games up in their division.

Houston won the game in part because of Craig Lightsey. The shortstop ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Aquas ahead, 2-0. For the game, Lightsey had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

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