Good production from first baseman Billy Irwin helped the Riverside Wolverines topple the Jacksonville Nationals, 15-11. Irwin was 5 for 6 with a home run and 4 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Wolverines. Roberto Lopez snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 3 innings. He's now 5-6 on the season. The 'W' lifts Riverside's record to 34-52.

Riverside used the clutch hitting of Steve Taylor to capture the win. The third baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to give the Wolverines the lead, 13-11. For the game, Taylor had 1 single and 3 doubles in 6 at-bats.

"There's no quit in this team," said Wolverines manager Matt Augustus.
