Nick Markakis cracked 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Aiken American Eagles
defeated the Florida Rockets 15 to 9 at Eagles' Nest.

Markakis enjoyed a great day at the plate.  Every time he came up in the
latter innings, the crowd was on their feet cheering.  He smacked a three-run
homer in the 3rd inning, lifted one out of the park for a two run home run in
the 6th inning and blasted a solo shot (his 4th of the season) in the 7th
inning.  Aiken lit up the scoreboard in the 3rd inning with 4 runs on 4 hits
and the 6th inning when they had 6 runs on 6 hits.  Aiken dominated
offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.  

Jair Jurrjens(2-0) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 7 runs for the win. Justin
Masterson(0-2) took the loss.  He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 4 and 2/3
innings of work.
