Hilali Helps Earthquakes Beat Imperials, 15-5
Ft. Wayne center fielder Hemmu Hilali had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Chuluota Imperials, 15-5. Ken Phillips got the win, improving to 10-0. He held the Imperials to 1 run on 4 hits over 6 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 0. The wins continue to add up for Ft. Wayne. The latest makes it 7 in a row.

Ft. Wayne got a big at-bat from Castaic, California native Troy Nelson, who in the bottom of the third hit a bases-clearing triple. It was his 4th triple of the season and put the Earthquakes ahead, 9-0.

"Hitting is contagious. And when you have a lineup that's going to throw out competitive at-bats one through nine, it makes you want to join in," said Hilali.
