Nationals Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The Jacksonville Nationals got a hard-earned win over the Chuluota Imperials, 10-6, in 11 innings. Bobby McFarland provided some offensive muscle for Jacksonville. He slugged 3 home runs. He scored 4 times and drove in 7. The win was credited to 20-year old right-handed pitcher Jorge Cortez in relief. His record improves to 4-1. Roberto Morales took the loss. The losing skid has reached 8 games for Chuluota.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until McFarland delivered big-time for Jacksonville, stroking a dramatic grand slam home run off Josh Paul. The game-changing hit put the Nationals on top, 10-6.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said McFarland.
