Astros Clip Marlins, 5-4, in R1 Contest
The Houston (GCL) Astros and the Miami (GCL) Marlins will take the Round 1 to a decisive 5th game. The Astros got a dramatic walk-off victory in a must-win situation to beat the Marlins, 5-4, at Ballpark of Belvedere and force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Houston (GCL) second baseman Pancho Mendoza was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times.

Houston (GCL) got a knockout punch from Mike Ethridge. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

Houston (GCL) manager Corey Ragsdale praised his team's "energy."

Game 5 is scheduled for Monday at Roger Dean Stadium.
