Mallinson 4-for-5, Aztecs Move to 77-45
The Mexico City Aztecs bested the Long Beach Keys, 8-7, at Long Beach Grounds. Brent Mallinson was one of the standouts. He was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win was credited to 24-year old left-handed pitcher John Sims in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jim Unknown took the loss. With the win, Mexico City pushed its record to 77-45.

Mexico City won the game in part because of George Theodore. The second baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Aztecs ahead, 8-7. For the game, Theodore had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Long Beach manager Ron Kunkleman. "But we decided not to take it."
