Aurora Loses, 13-9, in 12
The Santa Ana Black Aces powered past the Aurora Paints, 13-9, at Paints Park. Kevin Pizzuti provided some of the pop. Dude went 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The second-place Black Aces have won 8 straight.

Santa Ana used the timely hitting of Patrick Gentry to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Black Aces on top, 10-9. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Elias Quesada said.
