Martinez Lifts Killers to 20-12 Win
The Crystal Lake Killers powered past the Chuluota Imperials, 20-12, at Imperials Ballpark. Manuel Martinez provided some of the pop. He was 4 for 7 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5. The win was credited to 21-year old right-handed pitcher Tony Becerra in relief. His record improves to 5-4. Leo Garcia took the loss. Chuluota, at 58-64, has lost 4 straight.

With Crystal Lake leading 16-10 in the top of the eighth, Martinez batted against Chuluota pitcher Marco Torres. Martinez hit a slider to center for a grand slam home run. His 28th home run of the season put the Killers on top, 20-10.

Chuluota manager said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
