Longo Shines in 7-1 Santa Ana Win
The Santa Ana Black Aces defeated the St. Joseph Mighty Mites, 7-1, at Mighty Mites Park. Leading the charge for Santa Ana was shortstop Charlie Longo. He was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. Kichizo Shimada, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-1. He pitched 7.2 innings, giving up 4 hits and no runs, while striking out 4 and walking 3. The first-place Black Aces have won 7 consecutive games.

Mike Mitchell had a big solo home run for the Black Aces in the top of the sixth inning. With Santa Ana leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 22-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown and punished it. The result was his 25th home run of the season, which put the Black Aces on top, 2-0.

Mitchell told a Santa Ana Daily News reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
