Aztecs 4-0 Winners Versus Atlanta
The Atlanta Aggies went down to defeat to Mel Mercado and his Mexico City teammates. The final score was 4-0, in favor of the Aztecs. The setback makes Atlanta 45-59.

The Aggies had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Aztecs going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old catcher Brent Mallinson came to the plate. Mallinson hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch sinker from Atlanta hurler Randy Smith. It was Mallinson's 13th home run of the year.

"We took home the win," said Mercado. "What's not to like?"
