Black Aces Rally to Nose Past Waco
Despite a great performance by Waco pinch hitter Chris Gallagher, the Santa Ana Black Aces defeated the Warlocks by the score of 7-6 at Santa Ana Stadium. Gallagher was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Santa Ana, at 106-28, holds down first place in the Sub League 1 Central Division.

In the bottom of the ninth, with one out and the game tied, 6-6, 22-year old center fielder Kyle Twigg won it for Santa Ana. With the bases loaded, Twigg hit a 1-0 fastball from Sal Aguilar for a run-scoring single, giving his team the 7-6 win.

"The house was rockin'," said Twigg.
