Jacksonville Wins, Anderson hits 2 home runs
Behind a solid performance from center fielder Aaron Anderson, the Jacksonville Nationals defeated the Corpus Christi Texans, 18-6. Anderson hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Nationals. Juan Soriano notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 1 hit in 3.1 innings. His record now sits at 5-3. The Nationals have now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Leo Gracia had a big 2-run home run for the Nationals in the top of the second inning. With Jacksonville leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Quim Perestrelo, who is tied for 2nd in the SC in complete games with 2, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Nationals on top, 3-0.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Anderson.
