The Mexico City Aztecs saddled the Lake Elsinore Storm with a loss at Dust Devils Ballpark. The final score was 6-3. Justin McCoy was 2 for 3, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Mexico City right fielder scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Mel Mercado. He's now 12-6. He went 5.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 3 hits for the Aztecs. The Aztecs improved to a lofty 77-25.

It could have been a different outcome for Mexico City, had it not been for Dean Hostetler, the 22-year old first baseman . Hostetler contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Mexico City up, 4-2.

McCoy called the win "a pick-me-upper."
