Nationals Bridle Flight, 4-2
The timely hitting of Matt Higgins helped the Jacksonville Nationals down the San Bernardino Flight, 4-2. Higgins was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Nationals. With the win, Jacksonville improves its record to 10-11.

Had Higgins not come through in the bottom of the seventh, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Higgins hit a run-scoring single. The Nationals took the lead, 3-2, and never looked back.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Higgins told the Jacksonville Today.
