The Aztecs hit two home runs and gave Edison's pitcher Henry Owens the first loss of the season (8-1) in a 3-1 victory. Esperanza's Jonathan Maclel hit a solo shot, followed by a 2-run bomb by Travis Alamazan.
Owens pitched a good game, going the distance with 11 strikeouts, but he struggled with his control. He uncharacteristically walked four batters while hitting five batters.
He could have given up more runs, if Esperanza didn't botch a suicide squeeze in the 5th inning.
Esperanza is now on top of the Sunset League as they have taken the season series from Edison (2-0).
