Visiting Nationals Beat Panthers, 7-5
The Jacksonville Nationals weathered a fine game by Buckeye Local second baseman Derrick Bulluck to upend the Panthers, 7-5, at Cincinnati Grounds. Bulluck was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Eddie Clickner earned his 16th save in 18 chances. The victory gives the Nationals a record of 67-60.

Rick Gruber came through with a big-time hit for Jacksonville. The left fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 7-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Gruber. "It sure beats the alternative."
