Killers Hammered by Skiba, Drop Game 1 to Nationals
The Jacksonville Nationals started the Division Series in style, winning on the road against the Crystal Lake Killers at Killer Stadium by a score of 10-7 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Nationals first baseman Dan Skiba excelled. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Skiba delivered big-time for Jacksonville, stroking a dramatic 2-run home run off Brian Kyzar. The game-changing hit put the Nationals on top, 9-7.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Jacksonville manager Zack Glomski told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Killer Stadium in Biloxi.
