Division Series Game 1 Goes to Santa Ana, Thanks to Corcoran
The Santa Ana Black Aces started the Division Series in style, downing the visiting Ottawa Lynx at Santa Ana Stadium by a score of 6-1 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Black Aces first baseman Joe Corcoran went 2 for 3 with a triple and a walk.

With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Nate Berg barreled up a fastball from Ricardo Flores. The result was a 3-run home run, putting the Black Aces in front, 6-1.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Berg.

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