The Riverside Wolverines could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Tony Hernandez into a win. Instead, the Jacksonville Nationals prevailed, 3-2, in 10 innings.

With this game in the books, Jacksonville is 54-48, Riverside 65-37.

The Nationals got a clutch hit from catcher Oscar Naranjo. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Nationals.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Naranjo.
