Rick Gruber had a 7-RBI night to help the Jacksonville Nationals down the Riverside Wolverines, 11-6. With the win, the Nationals hiked their record to 60-57.

Mike Hedger came through with a big-time hit for Jacksonville. The designated hitter smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 7-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Gruber. "Those qualities define our team."
