Johnson, Nationals Sink Earthquakes Again in Game 3
The Jacksonville Nationals are one game away from a sweep after downing the visiting Ft. Wayne Earthquakes at Nationals Park, 11-7. Nationals center fielder Tommy Johnson slugged 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Jacksonville now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Jacksonville shortstop Jimmy Johnson delivered a solo home run in the bottom of the third. Overall, he went 3 for 5, picking up 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and knocked in 1.

"It was a good day but I'm not letting my guard down," Johnson said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."

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