Matchette Hits Two Homers in 22-7 Win for Jacksonville
Behind the hitting of Jeff Matchette, the Jacksonville Nationals stopped the Buckeye Local Panthers, 22-7. Matchette hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 for the Nationals. The winner in relief was Edwin Lozano. The left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 4-2. The Jacksonville winning streak has reached 3 games.

Jacksonville needed the clutch hitting of Matt Higgins to notch the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals on top, 9-7. For the game, Higgins had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Jacksonville manager Zack Glomski.
