The Houston Aquas defeated the Portland Dragons, 4-3, at Portland Park. Al Anzaldua, who finished 2nd in the WC in batting average with .324 last year, was a standout performer for Houston. His 4 hits included 2 singles and 2 doubles -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 1 he knocked in. Ricky Zika got the win, improving to 11-6. He pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 0. Houston, at 57-39, holds down first place in the Western Conference Michael Fridy Division.

With Houston leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Anzaldua hit a splitter from Oscar Mercado for a run-scoring double. It was his 34th double of the season and put the Aquas ahead, 2-0.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Anzaldua.
