Killers Slap 8-3 Loss on Nationals
Behind the hitting of Ray Geltz, the Crystal Lake Killers stopped the Jacksonville Nationals, 8-3. Geltz went 2-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Killers. The winning pitcher was Dennis Black. His record now stands at 1-2. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits for the Killers. Juan Ramirez, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

Crystal Lake used a clutch at-bat from Pete DiBiaso to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Killers ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Geltz.

The Killers lead the Southern Conference West Division by 6 games.
