Baltimore Slaps 4-2 Loss on Houston
Baltimore turned a good effort from starter Larry Diego into a win over the Houston Drillers at Seton Hill Stadium. The Lords won the game, 4-2. Diego yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 7. His record improves to 10-6. Baltimore has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

The Lords got a big at-bat from center fielder Bob Carter. For the game, Carter was 1 for 4 with a triple. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run triple. His 4th triple of the season gave Baltimore a 2-0 lead.

"Winning is the only thing that really matters," Diego told the Baltimore Daily. "If you can win without even breaking a sweat, more power to you."
