Black Aces Win, 7-6, at Tacoma
Both teams had their chances, but the Santa Ana Black Aces eventually prevailed.

The Santa Ana Black Aces overcame a pretty good performance by Tacoma third baseman Matt Parker, beating the Thunder Wolves, 7-6, at Thunder Wolves Stadium. Parker went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times. Santa Ana reliever Mike Hrdlicka got the win, raising his record to 2-0. Tony Hernandez was tagged with the loss.

In the top of the fifth, Santa Ana third baseman David Raney had a run-producing at-bat. Facing Tacoma hurler Tony Hernandez, Raney drew a walk, driving in 1 run. That made the score 6-3, Santa Ana. For the day, Raney drew 2 walks in 4 trips to the plate.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Tacoma manager Alfonso Estrada. "The effort was great."

Santa Ana goes to 104-27. The win puts them 7 games up in their division.
