The Houston Sting pasted the Nichols Gnats with a convincing 14-3 defeat at The Pond. Rick Atherton was a prime factor in the Houston win. He was 4-5 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Luis Alvarado got the win, improving to 2-5. He worked 6.2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 3. The Sting raised their record to 11-22.

Houston used the hitting of Joe Sampson to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Sting on top, 9-2. For the game, Sampson had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

Nichols manager Mike Nevil said: "The beauty of this game is games like this only count as one loss."
