1837 BBC Lose Despite Zhu's Valiant Effort
The Houston 1837 BBC got a superb performance from designated hitter Yeow-whye Zhu, but the Long Island Lighthouse still won the game, 8-7. Zhu was named the player of the game despite the loss. He was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. James Lendell Basford, credited with the win, is now 7-2. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. Long Island bumps their record to 63-41 with the win.

The most important at-bat for Long Island came in the top of the ninth inning. With two out, Vicente Romero reached on an error by the 3B, driving in 1 run, putting Long Island up, 8-7.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Romero.
