Nationals Slip Past Haviland, 11-10
In a high-scoring game between Jacksonville and Haviland, first baseman Dan Skiba was a difference-maker. The 19-year-old helped Jacksonville grab the 11-10 win. He was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Jim Unknown picked up the win in relief. Jim Unknown took the loss for Haviland. Jacksonville is now 3-3.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jeff Roberts in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 19-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game for Jacksonville. The home crowd went nuts.

Said Skiba: "What's not to like about a walk-off win?"
