Jacksonville now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Dan Skiba chipped in a 2-run home run for Jacksonville in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 2 home runs, 1 single, 3 runs scored, and 5 runs batted in.

"I believe in our guys," said Jacksonville skipper Zack Glomski. "I like the energy they're playing with."

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