Unicorns Deal Black Aces 5-4 Loss
The Newport Unicorns outlasted the Santa Ana Black Aces in an extra-inning thriller.

Due in part to shortstop Jose Corona, the Newport Unicorns chopped down the Santa Ana Black Aces, 5-4, in 10 innings. Corona slugged 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Allen D'Amico claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 1-0.

Corona had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a first pitch fastball from Ryan McEntyre, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Unicorns a 5-3 lead. It was the 14th home run of the year for Corona.

Corona told the Newport Bulletin: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."

With the victory, the Unicorns record stands at 35-39.
