Multi-HR Game for Nelson in 12-0 Win
Good production from shortstop Troy Nelson helped the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes topple the Jacksonville Nationals, 12-0. Nelson slugged 3 home runs. He scored 4 times and drove in 5 for the Earthquakes. The Earthquakes, now 101-22, have won 10 in a row.

The Earthquakes got a big hit from catcher Curt Koerner. Facing Jacksonville pitcher Hidenori Miyata in the bottom of the seventh, Koerner pounded a grand slam home run to left-center. His 73rd home run of the season put the Earthquakes ahead, 9-0.

"We're one win closer to our goal," Koerner said in postgame remarks.
