Rockets Win Nail-Biter in 13
The Huntsville Rockets wiggled past the Newark Flyers, 3-2, in 13 innings at Ballpark of Austin. The win was highlighted by the performance of Huntsville pitcher Aaron O'Brien. Their 19-24 record puts the Rockets third in the Northern A West Division.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 13th inning, when Huntsville center fielder Ken Hippler, facing Edwin Villagran, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Rockets the 3-2 win.

Hippler said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
