The Sunrise Manor Sunchasers got a marvelous performance from pitcher Leo Najera. The right-hander kept the Jacksonville offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 8-2 Sunrise Manor victory at Nationals Park. The Sunchasers, at 59-41, sit in second place in the Southern Conference East Division.

Eric Schultz had a big 3-run home run for the Sunchasers in the top of the fourth inning. With Sunrise Manor leading 3-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Chris Soto and swatted a home run to left. It was his 2nd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Sunchasers ahead, 6-0.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Sunchasers," said Schultz.
