The Chuluota Imperials besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Riverside designated hitter Randy Matison by beating the Wolverines, 6-5, at Imperials Ballpark. Matison went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Justin Gelineau came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now stands at 3-1. The victory gives the Imperials a record of 49-47.

The Imperials got a big at-bat from third baseman Zach Hess. For the game, Hess went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 20th home run of the season gave Chuluota a 3-0 lead.

"I think we all put in a good day's work," said Hess.
