Jacksonville Makes It 9 Straight with 3-2 Win
The Jacksonville Nationals had to overcome a big game from Crystal Lake first baseman Ross Howard to leave Nationals Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 3-2. Howard was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The 4th-place Nationals have won 9 in a row.

Chris Baker played the role of hero for Jacksonville. In the bottom of the ninth, he launched a solo home run off D.J. Nelson to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was the decisive blow.

"The fans went nuts at the end," Baker said.
