The Nationals kept their hot streak going.

The Jacksonville Nationals beat the San Antonio Griffins, 9-8, at Nationals Park. The win was due in part to third baseman Matt Higgins, who hit 2 home runs. The save went to Eric Grace, number 3 for him.

Jacksonville took the lead, 9-8, on Jimmy Johnson's 14th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off San Antonio pitcher Jim Unknown in the bottom of the eighth.

"The team is playing at a high level," said Nationals manager Zack Glomski.

Jacksonville, having won 22 in a row, is now 87-26.
