Nationals Take Down Griffins, 8-6
The Jacksonville Nationals beat the San Antonio Griffins by a score of 8-6. Jacksonville second baseman Matt Higgins deserved the lion's share of the credit. Higgins went 3-6 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Nationals. With the victory, the Nationals upped their record to 26-24.

Jacksonville used the timely hitting of Ezequiel Plata to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Nationals on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Our guys refused to lose," said Higgins.
