Of all the teams last week the Aces did the best without a doubt with a six and one record. Thanks to this six-win week, the Aces have a three-game lead in the Pacific Coast League Northern Division. With only eight games left in the season, the Aces to have a commanding lead.

The biggest game of the week was the outlier of the week.
