Black Aces Rally to Nose Past Newport
The Santa Ana Black Aces defeated the Newport Unicorns by the score of 11-10, with the biggest share of the credit going to right fielder Bill Bandy. Bandy belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 6 for the Black Aces on the day. Santa Ana reliever Chris Williams was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Carlos Palmas took the loss. Santa Ana now has a record of 5-2.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Santa Ana designated hitter Mike Mitchell, facing Carlos Palmas, had a run-scoring ground out. It gave the Black Aces the 11-10 win.

"It's great when the crowd goes berserk," Mitchell said.
