Chuluota right fielder Nick Blanks had a good game, even if his team did not. The Imperials dropped a 6-5 decision to Ft. Wayne at Imperials Ballpark. Blanks went 3 for 4 with 3 triples. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Javier Palos picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 4-0. Ft. Wayne now has a record of 30-10 with the win.

Ft. Wayne used the hitting of Alex Hernandez to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Earthquakes on top, 6-2. For the game, Hernandez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Hernandez told the Ft. Wayne Observer. "Whatever it takes."
