Waco Decked by Ortiz, Unicorns
The Newport Unicorns routed the Waco Warlocks, 11-3, at Warlocks Grounds. Andrew Ortiz, who is tied for 10th in the SL1 with a .412 batting average, was one of the hitting stars. He went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for Newport. The defeat makes Waco 9-12.

Branden Werkman had a big 2-run double for the Unicorns in the top of the second inning. With Newport leading 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Daniel Chavez and swatted a double to left. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Unicorns ahead, 4-1.

"If we keep hitting the ball well, the wins will pile up," said Newport skipper Victor Sepulveda.
