Earthquakes Clip Panthers, 4-3
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes topped the Buckeye Local Panthers, 4-3, in Southern Conference action at Earthquakes Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Ft. Wayne pitcher and Altadena, California, native Andy Strong. Marcos Patino earned save number 11 this season. Ft. Wayne, at 20-5, is off to a blistering start.

Victor Lara had a big solo home run for the Earthquakes in the bottom of the second inning. With Ft. Wayne leading 3-0 and the bases empty, he got a curveball from Jim Unknown and swatted a home run to left. It was his 1st home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Earthquakes ahead, 4-0.

In postgame remarks to the Ft. Wayne Observer, Strong was in a reflective mood. "Sometimes," he said, "I can't believe my good luck. Playing a game and making a living at it."
