Jon Houston Carries PL to a Strong 8-6 Win over Faribault

Jon Houston had arguably the best game of his career on Tuesday night in an 8-6 win over Faribault at Memorial Park.

Houston finished 3 for 3 at the plate with a grand slam, the first home run of his career. He finished a triple shy of a cycle. Jon also pitched the 7th inning and recorded the save for Prior Lake. What an impressive performance!

Joe Gutoske got the start on the mound for PL and did a very solid job for the first four innings to keep the team in the game.

The pivotal inning of the game was the 6th. With the game tied 6-6, Matt Probst led off with a walk and Houston singled into left field. Two batters later came the big hit of the night when Austin Truso lined a double into left center to give PL the 8-6 lead that ended up as the final score.

Kyle Schmidt got the win in relief for Prior Lake, working two innings with 3 strikeouts.

PL is back in action tonight against South St. Paul at McGuire Field at 6pm.
