Nationals Win Nail-Biter
Led by George Gericke, the Jacksonville Nationals downed the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes, 3-2, in 10 innings. Gericke went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Nationals. Jacksonville now sits at 56-52, while Ft. Wayne falls to 81-27.

Jacksonville got a knockout punch from Bobby Sidener. The first baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Gericke.
