The Aurora Paints and Santa Ana Black Aces played an exciting game.

Aurora registered a win at Paints Park by beating the Santa Ana Black Aces, 4-2. Pitcher Eric Tate was one reason why the Paints triumphed. Aurora is now 51-62, Santa Ana 78-35.

Tate, a native of McKinney, Texas, was dealing all game. He kept Santa Ana hitters off-balance, while giving the Paints 7 quality innings. Tate threw 95 pitches, allowing 3 hits and striking out 7.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Elias Quesada.
