On Road, Ft. Wayne Drops Jacksonville, 7-4
The 7-4 Ft. Wayne win over Jacksonville was due in large part to Brian Taylor. The Earthquakes designated hitter was 4 for 5 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 runs. The Nationals fall to 6-8 and continue their lackluster start in 2026.

Gary O'Connell had a key at-bat with two out in the top of the sixth for Ft. Wayne. With the bases loaded and the Earthquakes leading 4-3, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Taylor.
