Crystal Lake Dispatched, 7-6, by Jacksonville
The Jacksonville Nationals just keep winning.

Getting a good performance from shortstop Justin York, the Jacksonville Nationals defeated the Crystal Lake Killers, 7-6. York went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Nationals. Jacksonville reliever Gabriel Marin picked up the win, upping his record to 7-4. Jim Miller was saddled with the loss.

Jacksonville used the clutch hitting of Mike Ayres to snag the win. The right fielder drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals ahead, 7-6. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"It never gets old," said Ayres. "Winning, that is."

Jacksonville, having won 10 in a row, is now 48-47.
