Zika Swings Aquas to 9-1 Win
Houston turned a good effort from starter Ricky Zika into a win over the Las Vegas Aces at Western Coliseum. The final score was 9-1. The Aquas have an impressive 88-52 record.

Al Anzaldua had a big 2-run double for the Aquas in the top of the fourth inning. With Houston leading 3-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a slider from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Billy Zaffuto and swatted a double to left. It was his 36th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Aquas ahead, 5-1.

"Ricky was a handful," said Las Vegas manager Justin Coroian.
