Earthquakes Deal Crystal Lake 7-6 Defeat
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes stopped the Crystal Lake Killers, 7-6, behind an impressive performance from Nick Hickson. The 18-year old first baseman made life miserable for Crystal Lake pitching. He was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The winner in relief was Mario Manrique. He is now 6-1. The right-hander allowed 3 runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. Picking up the save was Michael Pacheco. He's now 2 for 3 in save chances.

With Ft. Wayne leading 2-0 in the top of the first, Hickson hit a curveball from Jorge Ortiz for a 3-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Earthquakes ahead, 5-0.

Hickson said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."

Now 59-16, the Earthquakes have won 10 games in a row.
