Earthquakes Pull Out Late Win, 6-5
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes overcame a good performance by Picture Rocks designated hitter Justin Durant to knock off Picture Rocks, 6-5, at Ballpark of Picture Rocks. Durant was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. Ian McCullar claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 6-1. Marcos Patino closed it out for his 22nd save.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the ninth. That's when Earthquakes catcher Curt Koerner hit a cutter from Jim Unknown for a 2-run single. Just like that, Ft. Wayne was up, 6-5.

"Nice to keep our winning streak intact," said Koerner.

The Earthquakes, at 88-20, have a comfortable 20-game lead in their division.
