Gruber Helps Jacksonville Cruise to 16-3 Win
The home crowd had a good time watching the Chuluota Imperials and Jacksonville Nationals get after it.

The Jacksonville Nationals beat the Chuluota Imperials, 16-3, at Nationals Park. The Nationals got a fine performance from left fielder Rick Gruber, who hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. David Koontz earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. He upped his record to 1-0. Jim Unknown closed the game out for Jacksonville, earning his 1st save.

The Nationals got a big hit from first baseman David Short. Facing Chuluota pitcher Jose Chavez in the bottom of the eighth, Short pounded a 3-run home run to right. His 2nd home run of the season put the Nationals ahead, 16-3.

"We came out aggressive," said Nationals manager Zack Glomski. "We came out swinging the bats."

Jacksonville, now 8-5, has gotten their season off to a good start.
