Valdez slugs 2 home runs to Fuel Earthquakes Offense
Ft. Wayne shortstop Jose Valdez had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Jacksonville Nationals, 7-1. Willie Escalera earned the win to go to 4-2. He allowed 1 run on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. Ft. Wayne goes to 82-18. The win puts them 17½ games up in their division.

Ft. Wayne used a clutch at-bat from Victor Lara to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Earthquakes ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Nice win for us," said Lara. "Now we'll go after the next one."
