Hickson Leads Charge, Ft. Wayne Blasts Wolverines
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes pinned a convincing loss on the Riverside Wolverines, 13-3, at Earthquakes Stadium. Nick Hickson was a main factor in the win. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for Ft. Wayne. The first-place Earthquakes have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.

Guadalupe Uriostegui had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, the Ft. Wayne right fielder hit a run-scoring single. That put the Earthquakes in front, 2-1.

Hickson said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."
