Win Streak Now at 7 for Aztecs
The Mexico City Aztecs topped the Kalamazoo Comets, 13-5, at Tony Gwynn Stadium. Mexico City third baseman David Keith was a spark plug for the offense. He went 4 for 4 with 4 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Mexico City starter Mike Pistorio was credited with the win after throwing 91 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 4-0. Randy Dietrich, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities.

Jonathan Lewis had a big 2-run home run for the Aztecs in the bottom of the second inning. With Mexico City leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Justin Bunt and punished it. The result was his 28th home run of the season, which put the Aztecs on top, 3-0.

"Pedal to the metal" is how Mexico City manager Tony Velez described his team's approach.

The Aztecs have now reeled off 7 straight wins.
