Black Aces Deal Hex 8-2 Defeat
Behind the hitting of Rich Miklavcic, the Santa Ana Black Aces stopped the Providence Hex, 8-2. Miklavcic was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Black Aces. The winner was Randy Wall in relief. His record improves to 6-2. Eric Kretzer took the loss. Santa Ana goes to 91-25, Providence to 62-54.

Had Kyle Twigg not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Twigg hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Black Aces.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Santa Ana skipper Elias Quesada.
