Unicorns Slap 6-3 Loss on Santa Ana
Thanks in large part to designated hitter Jesse Lang, the Newport Unicorns beat the Santa Ana Black Aces, 6-3. Lang was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Jose Zapata got the win, improving to 1-1. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 0. Gary Lutz picked up the save, his 2nd.

Charles Williams aided the Newport cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth. For the game, the catcher was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Lang told the Newport Daily.

The Black Aces drop to 6-6 and continue their mediocre start to the 2024 season.
