Perrigin, Ft. Wayne Open DS Strong with 8-6 Win
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes started the Division Series in style, downing the visiting Jacksonville Nationals at Earthquakes Stadium by a score of 8-6 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Earthquakes second baseman Jason Perrigin was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3.

Had Chris Benedict not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Benedict hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Earthquakes.

"There's nothing like the postseason," said Perrigin, "to ramp up the pressure."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Earthquakes Stadium in Ft. Wayne.
