McCoy Helps Aztecs Run Win Streak to 7
Justin McCoy knocked in 5 runs to help Mexico City beat Bangor, 12-4. McCoy produced 1 single, 2 doubles, and 1 home run. The wins continue to add up for Mexico City. The latest makes it 7 in a row.

Mexico City used a clutch at-bat from Jeff Ciervo to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Aztecs ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Right now, things are falling our way," said Mexico City manager Tony Velez.
