Chris Tomlinson added some punch to the Jacksonville offense, helping them outmuscle the Buckeye Local Panthers, 22-11. In the game, Tomlinson was 3-6 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 7. Victor Joya, credited with the win in relief, is now 8-1. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 2.1 innings. The 80-26 Nationals have won 15 games in a row.

Tomlinson contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Jacksonville in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 5-3, Tomlinson took a slider from Luis Castillo and stroked the home run to left. His 12th home run of the season allowed the Nationals to leap in front, 7-5.
