Nationals Get Past San Bernardino for 5-4 Win
The inspired effort of San Bernardino right fielder Mike Seals was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-4, to the Jacksonville Nationals. Seals went 4-4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. The save went to Eric Grace, his 7th this season. The Nationals have now won 5 straight.

Jacksonville needed the clutch hitting of Matt Higgins to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Nationals on top, 5-3. For the game, Higgins had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Said Jacksonville manager Zack Glomski: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
