Screaming Eagles Win, Russell belts 2 home runs
Behind a solid performance from right fielder Mike Russell, the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles defeated the Northville Eclipse, 10-5. Russell hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Screaming Eagles. At 52-44, the Screaming Eagles are currently second in the Premier AA.

In the top of the 7th, pinch hitter Gerjan de Best gave Mercer Island the lead when he hit a 3-run home run. The Screaming Eagles had been trailing 5-3, but the two-out home run off Northville pitcher Manuel Delgado changed that -- and Mercer Island went on to win.

"It wasn't our best performance," said de Best, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
