Meatballs Take Down Aces, 5-4
The Atlantic City Aces got a sterling performance from pitcher Jeffrey Albert, but the San Francisco Meatballs still prevailed, 5-4. Albert threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Armando Martínez got credit for the save for San Francisco. It was his 12th of the year. The Aces, at 20-22, have lost 4 straight games.

San Francisco used a clutch hit from Jorge López to get the win. The first baseman drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Meatballs ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said López. "And not try to do too much."
