Lara Lifts Earthquakes to 13-6 Triumph
The 13-6 Ft. Wayne win over Buckeye Local was due largely to Victor Lara. The Earthquakes left fielder slugged 3 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored three times. The Earthquakes are now 99-25.

With Ft. Wayne leading 9-4 in the top of the sixth, Lara came up to bat against Buckeye Local pitcher Jim Unknown. Lara hit a fastball to right-center for a 3-run home run. His 18th home run of the season put the Earthquakes on top, 12-4.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Lara.
