Win Streak Now at 11 for Earthquakes
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes soundly defeated the Jacksonville Nationals, 12-1, at Earthquakes Stadium. Curt Koerner, who leads the SC with a 1.621 OPS, let his bat do the talking. He went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for Ft. Wayne. Javier Palos, the winner, is now 7-2. He struck out 7 and walked 1 over 5.1 innings, while allowing no runs on 2 hits. The first-place Earthquakes have won 11 straight games.

The Earthquakes got an important contribution from right fielder Edgardo Perez, who in the bottom of the seventh knocked a first pitch fastball to right-center for a 3-run home run. It was his 19th home run of the season and put the Earthquakes ahead, 11-0.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Perez told the Ft. Wayne Bulletin. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
