Lopez Goes Deep Twice in 14-10 Imperials Win
The Chuluota Imperials welcomed the Buckeye Local Panthers to an afternoon game at Imperials Ballpark.

The timely hitting of Mario Lopez helped the Chuluota Imperials down the Buckeye Local Panthers, 14-10. Lopez hit 2 home runs, while adding 7 RBI and scoring twice for the Imperials. Chuluota reliever Jake Sheppard was credited with the win. His record goes to 3-2. Roberto Ahumada took the loss for Buckeye Local.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Imperials grabbed the lead when Lopez hit his 29th home run of the season. The grand slam home run off Jim Unknown made it 10-7, Chuluota.

"The key is not trying to do too much," said Lopez.

Despite the win, the Imperials still have a pitiful 36-84 record.
