Jon Peterson recorded the save for Ft. Wayne, his 15th of the season.

Koerner had a key at-bat for Ft. Wayne in the top of the second. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 2-run double. It was his 1st double of the season and gave Ft. Wayne an early 2-0 lead.

"We took home the win," said Koerner. "What's not to like?"

The Earthquakes, at 82-28, have a comfortable 17½-game lead in their division.
