Jacksonville Rallies for 6-3 Victory
At Whataburger Field, the Corpus Christi Texans and Jacksonville Nationals were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Jacksonville Nationals dealt the Corpus Christi Texans a 6-3 loss at Whataburger Field. Caleb Herd, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2020 draft, was the star on offense. He went 1-2 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win belonged to David Koontz in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Jim Unknown took the loss for Corpus Christi.

Herd had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 0-2 splitter from Jim Unknown, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Nationals a 5-3 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Herd.

"I felt good up there," said Herd. "I saw the ball well."

Jacksonville occupies 4th place in the Southern Conference East Division at 21-19.
