Black Aces Sneak By Naturals, 4-3
The Santa Ana Black Aces dealt the Greensboro Naturals a 4-3 loss at Naturals Grounds. Chris Carrasco was 2 for 4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ryan McEntyre closed out the game, earning his 4th save. The win gives Santa Ana a season record of 79-39.

Santa Ana used the timely hitting of Brian Evans to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Black Aces on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Bottom line," said Greensboro skipper Nick Kendrick, "we didn't play well enough to win."
