Jacksonville Wins, Skiba has 3 hits
The Jacksonville Nationals topped the Juneau Sled Dogs, 10-5, with youngster Dan Skiba playing a key role. Skiba was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Nationals in the win. The defending champion Nationals have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 9-9 with the win.

Jacksonville used the hitting of Yoshitimo Hirata to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Nationals on top, 2-0. For the game, Hirata had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We'll hit the hot tub in good spirits tonight," said Skiba.
