Cats Edge Houston 4-3   WORCESTER, MA- The Worcester IceCats earned their fifth-straight win Wednesday night, preserving a one-goal lead to defeat the Houston Aeros 4-3.   The IceCats led 4-0 after the first period, but allowed three unanswered goals to Houston in the second. Dennis Wideman, Erkki Rajamaki and Mike Glumac made it 3-0 ‘Cats, while Peter Sejna's goal to make it 4-0 Worcester at 13:21 proved to be the game-winner. Rajamaki's goal was his first as a North American pro, while Brendan Brooks extended a personal point-streak to three games with an assist on the marker.   Houston gave the ‘Cats a fit in the second, scoring three times while out shooting them 13-4. Stephane Veillieux capitalized on a scrambled Worcester line change, scoring shorthanded to put the Aeros on the scoreboard. Christoph Brandner's power play goal at 12:59 brought his club within two. Then, Kirby Law made it a one-goal game exactly three minutes later.   The ‘Cats chased Houston starting goalie Mike Smith, after he allowed the game's first three goals on six shots. Josh Harding finished the contest with 16 saves, but gave up Sejna's game-winner and took the loss. Worcester's Jason Bacashihua, in his first start since opening night in Manchester, secured his first victory of the season with a 25-save performance.   The IceCats (6-2-0-0) host the undefeated Manchester Monarchs (7-0-0-0) this Friday night at 7:05PM.
