Zika Stars as Aquas Top Phantoms, 8-1
The Houston Aquas rode a solid performance from 35-year-old starting pitcher Ricky Zika to a win, beating the Chicago Phantoms, 8-1, at Foster Field. The Phantoms, at 4-9, have stumbled out of the gate.

One of the clutch hits for Houston came from one of their biggest talents. In the top of the seventh with two out, David Kuthakwakulu, who led the WC in triples with 17 last year, hit a run-scoring single to put the Aquas up, 2-0. For the game, the center fielder went 3 for 5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Kuthakwakulu said. "And the same is true when you lose."
