Both the Alexandria Aces (5-5) and the Baltimore Redbirds (8-6) put runners aboard on Saturday, but it was the Alexandria Aces that were able to take advantage, pulling out a 1-0 win at Frank Mann Field.
The fact that the Alexandria Aces grouped all of their runs into the fifth inning helped them take advantage of their hits.
The Baltimore Redbirds couldn't get anything going as long as Blake Ream was on the mound. The Baltimore Redbirds managed just one hit off of the the Alexandria Aces' pitcher, who allowed no earned runs, walked one and struck out three during his three innings of work.
Mitchell Aker got the win, running his season record to 1-1. Aker struck out four, walked three and gave up seven hits.
Austin Solecitto ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his second loss of the year. He lasted just one inning, walked none, struck out none, and allowed no runs.
