Wolverines Score Late, Topple Nationals, 13-7
Spirited fans greeted the Jacksonville Nationals for their clash with the Riverside Wolverines.

Despite a great performance by Jacksonville left fielder Rick Gruber, the Riverside Wolverines defeated the Nationals by the score of 13-7 at Nationals Park. Gruber was 2 for 2 with 2 home runs and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Jerry Carmona snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 2.1 innings. He's now 6-3 on the season.

Riverside used the timely hitting of Robby Parra to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 9-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Matt Augustus.

The loss makes Jacksonville 41-44.
