Slumping Warlocks Lose 12th Straight
With first baseman Aaron Nelson leading the charge, the Santa Ana Black Aces defeated the Waco Warlocks, 6-4, at Warlocks Grounds. Nelson, who is tied for 10th in the SL1 with a 1.045 OPS, went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. Santa Ana reliever Randy Wall snagged the win, upping his record to 3-0. Brian Rosen shouldered the loss. The third-place Warlocks have lost 12 consecutive games.

Santa Ana used a clutch hit from Bill Bandy to get the win. The designated hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Black Aces ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

Waco manager Mike Schwartz, after yet another defeat, said: "We don't want to panic. At the same time, we need to stop the bleeding."
