Mike Gelardi was a major contributor to the 9-6 Chuluota win over Ft. Wayne. The Imperials left fielder was 1-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Juan Rodriguez picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 8-3. Victor Hernandez was tagged with the loss. Chuluota, at 47-39, holds down 4th place in the Southern Conference East Division.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Gelardi delivered big-time for Chuluota, stroking a dramatic 3-run home run off Victor Hernandez. The game-changing hit put the Imperials on top, 9-6.

"We've got some hairy guys on our side, too," said Chuluota manager Larry Voltaire.
