11-4 Loss Deepens Newport Funk
Led by Joe Corcoran, the Santa Ana Black Aces downed the Newport Unicorns, 11-4. Corcoran went 1 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for the Black Aces. Picking up his 2nd save was 22-year old left-handed pitcher Randy Wall. The wins continue to add up for Santa Ana. The latest makes it 9 in a row.

The Black Aces got a big hit from catcher Bill Byrne. Facing Newport pitcher Manuel Pena in the bottom of the seventh, Byrne pounded a 2-run double to center. His 6th double of the season put the Black Aces ahead, 7-4.

Said losing manager Victor Sepulveda: "The only way to escape your past is to be better than your past."
