He has now successfully converted 6 of 7 save opportunities. Texas has now won 3 in a row.

Claude Kern, the 25-year old second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Kern contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Texas up, 4-3.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Kern. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
