Horne Helps Santa Ana Outscore Aurora
Pete Horne was the difference-maker for the Santa Ana Black Aces in what turned into a shootout with the Aurora Paints. Horne, who is tied for 7th in the SL1 in extra base hits with 19, went 3-for-5 in the 17-13 Black Aces win. The winning pitcher was Omar Valentin. He's now 5-2. He went 6 innings, allowing 9 runs on 12 hits for the Black Aces. The Black Aces have a robust 10-game lead in the Sub League 1 Central Division.

Santa Ana used the hitting of Mike Mitchell to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Black Aces on top, 4-0. For the game, Mitchell had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning never gets old," said Black Aces manager Elias Quesada.
