Raptors Turn Back Jacksonville, 5-3
Jacksonville got a terrific game from third baseman Matt Higgins. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Picture Rocks, 5-3. Higgins was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs. Alex Torres picked up the win with 5.2 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 8 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 9. On the season, he is now 1-0. Carlos Hernandez, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

It could have been a different outcome for Picture Rocks, had it not been for Mike Walker, the 19-year old first baseman . Walker contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put Picture Rocks up, 2-1.

"We scored more than enough runs this time," said Picture Rocks manager Justin Shelhart. "Now watch. The next game we'll probably struggle to get a base hit."

The win puts Picture Rocks at 8-23.
