Ft. Wayne Beats Sunrise Manor, 9-5
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes and Sunrise Manor Sunchasers.

The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes trumped the Sunrise Manor Sunchasers, 9-5, at Field of the Sunchasers. Ft. Wayne shortstop Jose Valdez was terrific. He was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Ft. Wayne, at 60-16, is 4 games up in the Southern Conference East Division.

Ft. Wayne used a clutch at-bat from Chad Rodriguez to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Earthquakes ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Winning never gets dull," said Rodriguez.
