Aztecs Spill Lumberjacks, 5-2
Rod Samarripa was a major contributor to the 5-2 Mexico City win over Bangor. The Aztecs catcher was 3-4 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Mel Mercado was the winner. He's now 6-4. The loser was 23-year old right-handed pitcher Steve Pitt. The first-place Aztecs have won 4 straight games.

Mexico City left fielder Jonathan Lewis landed a blow when he belted a 2-run home run in the top of the third. It was his 11th home run of the season. With it, the Aztecs took a 3-0 lead.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Mexico City skipper Dan Martinez.
