Earthquakes, Benedict Pin Bad Loss on Nationals
The first-place Ft. Wayne Earthquakes picked up another win.

A 5-RBI performance from first baseman Chris Benedict, who is tied for 7th in the SC in extra base hits with 35, led the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes to a win over the Jacksonville Nationals, 10-1. The Ft. Wayne win streak is now 3 games.

Jose Valdez had a key at-bat with two out in the bottom of the first for Ft. Wayne. With the bases loaded and the Earthquakes leading 1-0, he got hit by a pitch, driving in 1 run.

Jacksonville manager Zack Glomski called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."
