Delgadillo Leads Nationals to 7-6 Win Over Imperials
The Jacksonville Nationals beat the Chuluota Imperials by a score of 7-6. Jacksonville first baseman Emanuel Delgadillo deserved the lion's share of the credit. Delgadillo was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times for the Nationals. The win went to Jorge Cortez in relief, making him now 2-0. Willie Mendez took the loss for Chuluota. Eric Grace picked up the save for Jacksonville, his 1st of the year.

Making an impact for Jacksonville was left fielder Tommy Johnson. Happy drilled a bases-clearing triple off Jake Sheppard in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, Johnson was 2 for 5 with a triple and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once.

"I feel like a little kid every time I put the uniform on," said Delgadillo.

Chuluota has now lost 4 straight.
