Warlocks Topple Black Aces with Late Rally
The Waco Warlocks withstood an impressive performance by Santa Ana designated hitter Bill Bandy to defeat the Black Aces, 5-3, at Santa Ana Stadium. Bandy went 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Brian Rosen closed the door for Waco, picking up his 14th save of the year. Waco is now 30-38, Santa Ana 52-16.

Waco used a timely hit from Alex Morales to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Warlocks ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Morales called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
