The Chuluota Imperials topped the Crystal Lake Killers, 14-4, at Imperials Ballpark. Chuluota right fielder Zach Hess was a spark plug for the offense. He went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Chuluota, with the win, sits at 29-61.

Vince Morris contributed to the Chuluota win with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the third baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 2 runs scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Hess told the Chuluota Chronicle.
