Crystal Lake Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Arnold
Clint Arnold had a good game, but he could not keep the Crystal Lake Killers from falling, 13-11, to the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes at Killer Stadium. The Crystal Lake third baseman was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while adding 6 RBI and scoring once in the loss. Danny Mendoza, 6-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 6 runs on 6 hits in 1.2 innings. Ian McCullar closed it out for Ft. Wayne, earning his 19th save.

Ft. Wayne used the hitting of Chad Rodriguez to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Earthquakes on top, 13-3. For the game, Rodriguez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Rodriguez.

The Earthquakes boast a remarkable 92-22 record.
