Knights Crash and Burn Versus Gnats
Mario Vargas was nothing short of phenomenal for the Nichols Gnats. The 19-year-old right-hander was a big reason his team beat the Ocala Knights, 17-1. In 6 innings, Vargas surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. The win boosts the Gnats to 64-90. The loss puts the Knights at 72-82.

Jesus Torres had a big 2-run triple for the Gnats in the bottom of the second inning. With Nichols trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a splitter from Javy Varona and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Gnats ahead, 2-1.

"Mario was in control from the top," said Nichols manager Mike Nevil.
