Twigg hits 2 home runs to Light Black Aces Fuse
The Santa Ana Black Aces defeated the Tacoma Thunder Wolves, 14-6, in part because of designated hitter Kyle Twigg. Twigg hit 2 home runs, while adding 8 RBI and scoring twice for the Black Aces. Amir Hardnett got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. The Black Aces sport a record of 92-42.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Twigg delivered big-time for Santa Ana, stroking a dramatic 2-run home run off Arhippa Hynninen. The game-changing hit put the Black Aces on top, 8-6.

"We're not exactly playing great right now," said Alfonso Estrada, the Tacoma manager.
