Ft. Wayne 73-18 After 6-3 Win Over Jacksonville
Behind the bravura of left fielder Victor Lara, the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes topped the Jacksonville Nationals by the score of 6-3. Lara went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 for the Earthquakes. Picking up the save was Ian McCullar. He's now 16 for 18 in save chances. Ft. Wayne, at 73-18, is cruising.

Ft. Wayne used a clutch at-bat from Nick Cordova to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Earthquakes ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Lara called the win "a pick-me-upper."
