Houston right-hander Kenny Aarnoutse pitched his team to victory over the Long Island Lighthouse at Houston Grounds. The final score was 10-5. The winning pitcher was Aarnoutse, now 4-2. He tossed 5.2 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 4. After today's action, Houston sits at 57-46, while Long Island falls to 62-41.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Houston Grounds seemed to enjoy watching the Menard's Third League action.

"The team always comes first, so pulling out the win on a day like today is the most important thing," Aarnoutse told a reporter while responding to autograph requests. "Our fans like to come out to see a win, so I'm happy to do what I can to give them that."
