Palatka was led to victory by Jace Akers, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Akers was dynamite, striking out ten batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits.
Akers and Palatka will head out on the road to challenge Father Lopez at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Akers has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 0.6 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Father Lopez has only allowed 3.16 per game this season.
