Marquez Hits 2 home runs in Lions Win
The Kentucky Lions defeated the Georgia Titans, 9-5, in part because of left fielder Carlos Marquez. Marquez went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4 for the Lions. Ji-e Kuai, now 5-4, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. Roger McCoy was credited with the save, his 5th in 9 tries.

Luppe Mathijssen had a big 2-run home run for the Lions in the top of the second inning. With Kentucky trailing 3-2 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a slider from 2065 Rookie of the Year winner Drew Tinker and punished it. The result was his 25th home run of the season, which put the Lions on top, 4-3.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Mathijssen.

The win puts Kentucky at 73-53 this season.
