Ft. Wayne Hands Chuluota 12-4 Defeat
The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes picked up a win, 12-4, over the Chuluota Imperials at Imperials Ballpark. Chris Benedict led the charge. The Oakland, California native went 3-6 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Ft. Wayne. Shalom Bruin went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits. The right-hander, who is tied for 7th in the SC with a 8.5 K/9 rate, struck out 1 and walked 0. With the win, he's now 5-2 this season. The Earthquakes boast a remarkable 77-16 record.

Ft. Wayne used a clutch at-bat from Miguel Gonzalez to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Earthquakes ahead, 5-3. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Their at-bats were really impressive against us," said losing manager Larry Voltaire.
