The Jacksonville Nationals cruised to a win over the Buckeye Local Panthers, 17-4, at Cincinnati Grounds. Jimmy Johnson, who is tied for 10th in the SC in triples with 6, led the way, going 4-for-6 for Jacksonville. The winner was Alexis Mendez, who threw 93 pitches over 5 innings. The left-hander was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits. The second-place Nationals have won 13 straight games.

With Jacksonville leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Johnson came up to bat against Buckeye Local pitcher Luis Castillo. Johnson hit a fastball to right for a 2-run triple. His 6th triple of the season put the Nationals on top, 3-0.
