Earthquakes Improve to 99-24 with 7-5 Win
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes had to overcome a big game from Picture Rocks designated hitter Justin Thurston to leave Earthquakes Stadium with a victory. And they did, winning, 7-5. Thurston went 3-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Edwin Montez, now 5-0, was credited with the win in 1.2 innings of relief. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. The Southern Conference East Division-leading Earthquakes have a record of 99-24.

Ft. Wayne took a 6-2 lead on Jeff Waterman's 18th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which Waterman hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Picture Rocks pitcher Jim Unknown visibly frustrated.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Waterman.
