Cordova Helps Ft. Wayne Cruise to 11-1 Win
Ft. Wayne beat Riverside in a rain-soaked ballgame.

The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes soundly defeated the Riverside Wolverines, 11-1, at Wolverines Ballpark. Nick Cordova, who is rated as the 87th best prospect by BNN, let his bat do the talking. He was 4 for 6 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for Ft. Wayne. Pedro Bautista got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.2 innings.

Hemmu Hilali had a big solo home run for the Earthquakes in the top of the fourth inning. With Ft. Wayne leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Tabari Jamal al Din and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Earthquakes on top, 2-0.

Riverside manager Matt Augustus called the blowout loss "a real dud."

Ft. Wayne, now 13-6, has gotten their season off to a good start.
