2B Johnson Lights Up Mounties for 6 RBIs as Nationals Tie WS
In a crucial game, the Jacksonville Nationals put on their best show, beating the Moncton Mounties by a final score of 15-14. Jimmy Johnson went 3-6 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 6. Jacksonville and Moncton are now tied at 2 wins apiece in the best-of-7 affair.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Bobby McFarland came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Moncton pitcher Joel Cogswell, he hit a full count fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Jacksonville on top, 15-14.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Jacksonville manager Zack Glomski.

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