Unicorns Victors, 7-5, at Waco
At Warlocks Grounds, the Waco Warlocks and Newport Unicorns were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Newport Unicorns weathered an outstanding game by Waco right fielder Dylan Phillips to topple the Warlocks, 7-5. Phillips was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Juan Rodriguez got the save, the 1st for him this season.

John Aiello chipped in a 2-run home run for Newport in the top of the third. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Newport manager Victor Sepulveda.

Waco falls to 1-2.
