The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes put together a convincing win at Earthquakes Stadium, defeating the Haviland Thrashers, 13-0. Jose Valdez was one of the hitting stars. He was 4 for 4 with a home run, a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for Ft. Wayne. Ft. Wayne has rattled off 5 straight wins.

The Earthquakes got an important contribution from center fielder Hemmu Hilali, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a fastball to right for a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Earthquakes ahead, 10-0.

Haviland manager Bill Mason called the blowout loss "just something that happens."
