Black Aces Rebuff Golden Gophers, 6-5
The Santa Ana Black Aces beat the Little Rock Golden Gophers, 6-5, at Santa Ana Stadium. Bill Kibler, in particular, was impressive. He went 3 for 5 with 3 doubles. He scored 2 runs. Chris Williams got credit for the win, improving to 7-0. He allowed no runs on no hits in 3 innings. The second-place Black Aces have won 4 straight games.

Had Joe Corcoran not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Corcoran hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Black Aces.

"I like the roll we're on," said Santa Ana manager Elias Quesada.
