Chavarria Leads Earthquakes to 9-4 Win Over Nationals
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes topped the Jacksonville Nationals, 9-4, in Southern Conference action at Earthquakes Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Ft. Wayne shortstop Bill Chavarria. Nick Kern went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. The right-hander, who is tied for 6th in the SC with a 0.89 WHIP, struck out 3 and walked 1. With the win, he's now 6-1 this season. Ft. Wayne improves to 58-18 with the win. They lead their division by 12 games.

Ivan Hernandez had a big 3-run home run for the Earthquakes in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Ft. Wayne trailing 3-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Jesse Soto and swatted a home run to left. It was his 8th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Earthquakes ahead, 4-3.

"We took home the win," said Hernandez. "What's not to like?"
