Jacksonville Breaks Through for First Win in Division Series; Now Trails 2-1
The Jacksonville Nationals have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Ft. Wayne Earthquakes, winning, 4-3, at Nationals Park. Nationals right-hander Matt Lavender threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Nationals to 2-1 in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Jacksonville took advantage of an error in the bottom of the eighth inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Jake Rogers hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Nationals in front, 4-3.

"We've got guys willing to do what it takes to win," Rogers told the Jacksonville News.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Nationals Park in Jacksonville.
