Black Aces Rally Late to Nip Hex
Despite a fine performance by catcher Pete DiBiaso, the Providence Hex lost to the Santa Ana Black Aces, 6-5. DiBiaso was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Santa Ana pitcher Chris Williams earned the win, hiking his record to 3-0. D.J. Nelson suffered the loss. The win has Santa Ana at 13-4.

Santa Ana used a timely hit from Joe Corcoran to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Black Aces ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Ah," said Corcoran in a jubilant clubhouse, "the sweet smell of victory!."
