The Las Vegas Aces went down to defeat to Antonio Equihua and his Houston teammates. The final score was 4-2, in favor of the Aquas. Victor Wix was called on to finish, recording his 2nd save. Houston goes to 13-7.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Jose Garces didn't flinch. With a runner on 1st and Las Vegas trailing 3-2, Garces retired Manichiro Kawasaki to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Garces, with a wink.
