Screaming Eagles Get Win, Extend Streak to 4
Mercer Island designated hitter Leonardo Ramírez played a vital role in his team's 11-5 triumph over Yakima. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs for Mercer Island. Mercer Island reliever Ken Shelton picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Israel Arant took the loss. The first-place Hops have lost 4 consecutive games.

Malden, Massachusetts-born Jacob Herman came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the Screaming Eagles trailing 3-2, he hit a 3-run home run to left to put Mercer Island on top.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play ever better," said Mercer Island manager Jared Gilbert.
