Sweepers Losers, 6-3, to Mexico City
Aztecs third baseman Jeff Ciervo left his mark on his team's 6-3 win over the Louisville Sweepers. Ciervo went 1 for 1 with a home run, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Mexico City in the contest. Ken Griffey earned save number 14 this season. The second-place Aztecs are now 75-44, the Sweepers 55-64.

Alejandro Morales had a big 3-run home run for the Aztecs in the bottom of the first inning. With Mexico City leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a cutter from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Daniel Williams and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Aztecs on top, 5-0.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Morales. "You've got to get results."
