Aces Get Past Palm Springs, 6-5
The Quebec Aces and Palm Springs Heat obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

Palm Springs wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Jason Stoute, falling to the Quebec Aces, 6-5. Stoute threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. The win makes Quebec 69-70.

The Aces were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 27-year old shortstop Josh Meeker landed a big blow. He turned a 1-0 fastball from Isiah Hamlin into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Belmont Park denizens into a frenzy and sent the Aces home with a thrilling 6-5 win.

"Not to put too fine a point on it," said Meeker, "but we really needed that win."
