Black Aces Squelch Mighty Mites Offense in Shutout Win
Santa Ana Black Aces starter Byron Bruce turned in an exceptional performance against the St. Joseph Mighty Mites at Santa Ana Stadium, resulting in a Santa Ana win, 4-0. Rick Deyo got credit for the save for Santa Ana. It was his 10th of the year. Santa Ana goes to 35-12, St. Joseph to 13-34.

The Mighty Mites had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Black Aces going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old first baseman Aaron Nelson came to the plate. Nelson hit a run-scoring double on a 1-2 changeup from St. Joseph hurler Jim Unknown. It was Nelson's 12th double of the year.

"When he's dealing, Byron is a tough customer," said Santa Ana manager Elias Quesada.
