Rico Stars for Blaze in 6-5 Win
The South Beach Blaze downed the Athletic Club KC U-21, 6-5, at ACKC Youth Field. The Blaze were led by José Rico, who captured player of the game honors. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. South Beach reliever Lucas Cobb was the winner. His record is now 2-3. The losing pitcher was Rubén Rivera. At 54-39, South Beach is in third place in the Premier A.

The most critical at-bat came in the top of the ninth inning. With two out, Dimian Menres hit a 1-2 curveball from Rubén Rivera for a run-scoring single. It put South Beach in front, 6-5.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Rico said after the game.
