Aztecs Nipped, 13-9, by White Deer
Runs were plentiful at Ballpark of White Deer.

In a high-scoring contest between White Deer and Mexico City, catcher Ben Riffe was a difference-maker. Riffe distinguished himself in the 13-9 White Deer win. He was 2-5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Marco Canas claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 5-5.

Had David Gonzalez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Gonzalez hit a 2-run single. That made the score 10-9, in favor of the Tropics.

Gonzalez told the White Deer Gazette: "I'm the straw that stirs the drink."

The Tropics are now 37-45.
