Division Series Game 1 Goes to Santa Ana, Thanks to Wahl
The Santa Ana Black Aces started the Division Series in style, downing the visiting Medford Desperados at Santa Ana Stadium by a score of 5-2 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Black Aces catcher Chris Wahl belted 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice.

There was more than one reason the Black Aces beat the Desperados, but Wahl's big at-bat in the bottom of the second was an important factor. He staked his team to a 3-0 lead when he hit a 3-run home run.

Santa Ana manager Elias Quesada commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Santa Ana Stadium in Santa Ana.
