The Mexico City Aztecs grabbed a win, 9-2, over the Bangor Lumberjacks at Ballpark of Bangor. Mexico City right fielder Justin McCoy went 3-3 with 3 singles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Mel Mercado was the winner. Over 5.2 innings, he yielded 1 run on 5 hits, with no walks and 3 strikeouts. Mexico City's record now stands at 88-31, placing them first in the Southern A West Division.

Mexico City used a clutch at-bat from Alejandro Morales to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Aztecs ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I still think this team can play even better," Morales told the Mexico City Chronicle.
