Hall Slugs Earthquakes to 16-2 Win
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes scored a convincing win at Earthquakes Stadium, defeating the Sunrise Manor Sunchasers, 16-2. One of the hitting stars was John Hall, who is tied for 10th in the SC in doubles with 10, who hit 3 home runs. The first-place Earthquakes have won 10 consecutive games.

The Sunchasers had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Earthquakes going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old catcher Curt Koerner came to the plate. Koerner hit a grand slam home run on a first pitch fastball from Sunrise Manor hurler Jonathan Gutierrez. It was Koerner's 5th home run of the year.

"We had that killer instinct," Koerner said after the game.
