Tadayoshi Watanabe made an impact in the 4-2 Long Island win over Houston. Watanabe, who finished 4th in the 3L in RBI with 84 in 2036, was 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. Onson Sweemey got the save, his 22nd in 26 chances. The Lighthouse are now 54-36, while the 1837 BBC fall to 50-40.

With Long Island leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth, Watanabe came up to bat against Houston pitcher Jared LaBarge. Watanabe hit a fastball to right-center for a solo home run. His 11th home run of the season put the Lighthouse on top, 4-2.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Long Island manager Michael Esposito. "It's usually not just one thing."
