Thanks in large part to first baseman Luke Flynn, the Waco Warlocks beat the Santa Ana Black Aces, 14-5. Flynn slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5. Chris Childress got the win, improving to 6-1. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 3. With the win, Waco upped its record to 35-35.

The Warlocks got a big hit from third baseman Arturo Farias. Facing Santa Ana pitcher Josh Lambert in the top of the seventh, Farias pounded a grand slam home run to right. His 14th home run of the season put the Warlocks ahead, 13-4.

"Very good win for our guys," said Farias.
