| Twisters Win at Houston, 2-1 | The Oklahoma City Twisters cut down the Houston Rangers by the score of 2-1, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Tony Quere. Quere went 4 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times for the Twisters. Mike Clark picked up the win, improving his season record to 8-7. He struck out 4 in 7.1 innings. Brian Costello was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 5 of 7 save opportunities.
Mark Hodges, who is on pace to hit 28 home runs this season, had a direct impact on the outcome. Hodges contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Oklahoma City up, 2-0.
"We took home the win," said Quere. "What's not to like?"
The United Central-leading Twisters are 56-44.
