Bates Hits Two Homers in 11-5 Win for Jacksonville
Kenneth Bates was instrumental in his team's 11-5 triumph over the Buckeye Local Panthers. The designated hitter went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for the Jacksonville Nationals. Omar Guerra collected save number 1. The 4th-place Nationals hiked their record to 77-61.

Jacksonville won the game in part because of Gabe Ippolito. The right fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 3-1. For the game, Ippolito had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Ippolito told the Jacksonville Times.
