Cordova Goes 5-for-6 Against Chuluota
Nick Cordova put on a hitting clinic as the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes dumped the Chuluota Imperials, 30-4, at Earthquakes Stadium.

The Ft. Wayne first baseman made Chuluota defenders earn their pay, lashing Chuluota pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Cordova said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Nick Cordova grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Josh Paul in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a sac fly in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

This season, Cordova is batting .352 with 20 home runs. He has scored 98 runs and driven in 107.
