Hawks Gold Summer Warmup at Collins Park
The Aces went undefeated again in 5 games at the Hawks Gold Round Robin.  In the first game early Saturday morning against the Katy Heat, things were looking good when the Aces loaded the bases with no outs, but a double play ended the rally.  However, the Aces scored the only run they would need later in the game, and only allowed one baserunner on a walk.  In other games on Saturday, the Aces beat the Hawks Gold and Hit Away Gold, allowing only one earned run all day.  On Sunday, the Aces shut out the Gulf Coast Xplosion Gold and the Texas Stars Red.  Great hitting and defense all weekend!
