Houston Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in DS
Ricky Zika pitched a gem to lead the Houston Aquas to victory, 6-1, over the Minneapolis Vikings in Game 3 of the Divisional Series. The right-handed Zika went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 in the win, which gave the Aquas a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Making an impact for the home team was Craig Lightsey. In the bottom of the fourth, the 25-year old third baseman had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 2-0, Aquas.

"We're happy," Zika told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Minneapolis Grounds in Minneapolis.
