Newport Defeated by Santa Ana, 5-1
Santa Ana Black Aces starter Roberto Alcaide pitched a strong game against the Newport Unicorns at Chanticleers Ballpark, leading the Black Aces to victory, 5-1. The winner was Alcaide. He threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Alex Almanza. Chris Williams earned save number 14 this season.

With no one out in the bottom of the eighth, Nate Ladnier had a chance to do some damage. Newport was trailing 4-0, but had runners on 1st and 3rd. Ladnier came to the plate against Chris Williams, and grounded out, driving in 1 run. But it was not enough to complete a Newport comeback.
