Houston Gets 15-8 Win Versus San Diego in 11
Houston starter Ricky Zika pitched well against the San Diego Destroyers at Seaward Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 15-8, in 11 innings. Armando Montoya earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 2-1. Houston, at 81-74, occupies second place in the Western Conference Michael Fridy Division.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Craig Lightsey came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing San Diego pitcher Harold Ruspoli, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 10-8.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Zika.
