The Santa Ana Black Aces pounded the Aurora Paints, 22-0, at Paints Park. Santa Ana shortstop Chris Mitchell had a solid game. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 7 runs and scored twice for the Black Aces. Zach Spitza earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. He upped his record to 1-0. The Black Aces own a robust 30-16 mark.

In the top of the first, 22-year old center fielder Bill Kibler hit a run-scoring triple. The 5th triple of the season for the Santa Ana center fielder put the Black Aces on top, 1-0.

"We can't expect to win," said Aurora manager Orlando Salinas, "with that kind of performance."
