Lightsey Shines in 8-6 Houston Win
Craig Lightsey knocked in 3 runs to help Houston beat Kansas City, 8-6. Lightsey produced 1 single, 1 double, and 1 home run. The win makes Houston 69-44.

Rich Norlander drew 1 walk for Houston. The 27-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Eduardo Leon. It was his 19th RBI of the season.

Houston manager Brandon Coroian was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.
