Aztecs Win with Late Rally
Hurler Jay Sikora gave the Mexico City Aztecs a solid start. The native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin helped his team defeat the Halifax Heathens, 3-2, at Estadio Azteca. Jeff Cox, now 3-2, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. Paul Ganley finished the game for Mexico City and earned his 2nd save.

Mexico City needed the clutch hitting of Chris Martinez to seal the deal. The left fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Aztecs on top, 3-2. For the game, Martinez had 1 home run and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Martinez. "I like it."

This win makes it 6 in a row for Mexico City.
