Fans who gathered at Atlantica saw a good contest between the Chicago Gold Sox and Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids.

Chicago pitcher Keisuke Nishida did his part in helping his team beat the Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids, 5-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Nishida went 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 6. His record improves to 2-1. Bruce Wright got credit for the save for Chicago. It was his 3rd of the year.

In the top of the eighth inning, first baseman Lupo Cotto came through big-time for the Gold Sox. With Chicago leading 3-1, he belted a 2-run home run.

"This was a good win," said Cotto.

Losses have been few and far between for the Rainbow Mermaids so far this season. Their record drops to 12-6.
