Aztecs Clip Bowsers, 5-4
The Mexico City Aztecs overcame a good performance by Columbus catcher Matt Struckman to knock off Columbus, 5-4, at Ballpark of Columbus. Struckman was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Mexico City reliever Hunter Saakadze got the win, raising his record to 5-3. Chad Iverson was tagged with the loss. Mexico City is now 59-26.

Mexico City used the timely hitting of Brent Mallinson to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Aztecs on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Mexico City manager Tony Velez called it "a good, solid win."
