The Newport Unicorns knocked off the Santa Ana Black Aces, 4-3, at Chanticleers Ballpark. Bill Fox was a big reason Newport won. The center fielder was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Ivan Sanchez came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record now stands at 5-3. The loss makes Santa Ana 107-32.

Fox had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of the sixth, when he hit a 3-run home run. The Unicorns went on to win.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Fox.
