The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

Josh Gibson helped his team muscle past the Houston Colt 45s, 7-6. In the game, the Homestead catcher went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The winner was Brickyard Kennedy, who threw 96 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits.

Mike Epstein, who finished 3rd in the AL in on-base percentage with .420 last year, chipped in a 2-run home run for Homestead in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Epstein.

The Grays, at 25-17, have now won 4 straight.
