Santa Ana Triumphs with Late Surge
The Ottawa Lynx could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Willie Lopez into a win. Instead, the Santa Ana Black Aces prevailed, 5-2. Lopez threw 6.2 innings of 4-hit ball. Santa Ana now sports a record of 85-23.

Santa Ana needed the clutch hitting of Rich Miklavcic to seal the deal. The left fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Black Aces on top, 3-2. For the game, Miklavcic had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Said losing manager Nick Boyd: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
