Cowboys Get One-Run Win at New Orleans
The Austin Cowboys topped the New Orleans Pelicans, 4-3, at Higgins Park. Austin shortstop Jimmy Rodríguez was a spark plug for the offense. He was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Tomás Meléndez, who went 6.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 14-8. The 4th-place Pelicans have dropped 4 straight games.

With Austin trailing 3-2 in the top of the fifth, Rodríguez hit a changeup from Pedro Hardy for a 2-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Cowboys ahead, 4-3.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Rodríguez said.
