Aztecs Lose, 4-3, in 10
The Long Beach Keys picked up a win at Long Beach Grounds, knocking off the Mexico City Aztecs, 4-3, in 10 innings. Starting pitcher Jon Cordova played a key role in the triumph. The setback makes Mexico City 76-45.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Long Beach. That's when 21-year old first baseman Mike Kopp hit a solo home run off Ken Griffey to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Kopp.
