Wolverines Popped by Nationals, 7-4
The Jacksonville Nationals had to overcome a big game from Riverside third baseman Tony Cantu to leave Nationals Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 7-4. Cantu was 3-5 with 2 home runs. Rogelio Morales was the winner in relief. His record is now 3-0. The losing pitcher was Moises Esparza. Chris Kelley earned save number 12 this season.

The Wolverines had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Nationals going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 20-year old third baseman Emanuel Delgadillo came to the plate. Delgadillo hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch fastball from Riverside hurler Moises Esparza. It was Delgadillo's 7th home run of the year.

"It feels good to get this one," Delgadillo told the Jacksonville Daily.

Jacksonville is sitting pretty at 62-22.
