Jones Goes 5-for-6 Against Austin
Fred Jones was smoking all game at the plate, but couldn't finish his day with a victory cigar.

After the 29-year-old Houston Eagles starting pitcher tallied 5 hits in 6 at-bats, he was forced to watch as his club dropped the 15-8 decision to the Austin Stars.

"That was no fun," Jones said to reporters after the game. "You hate to lose any game but it's even worse somehow to feel like you did enough to win."

Fred Jones hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and struck out in the 9th.

This season, Jones has compiled a 10-6 mark with a 3.60 ERA in 18 starts.
