Misfits Best Screaming Eagles in Pitching Duel
The Salem Misfits went home winners at Mercer Island Grounds, thanks in large part to starter Marv Bradford. Bradford silenced the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles, enabling Salem to grab the 2-1 win. Bradford, now 8-5, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 7, walking 1, and allowing 1 earned run. The Misfits sit in third place in the Premier AA with a record of 35-29.

Tied up with the Screaming Eagles in the top of the fifth, the Misfits got a boost from shortstop Chris Thurman. With a runner on 2nd, Thurman saw a 2-2 cutter from Raúl Pérez and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Salem on top, 2-1.

Said Salem manager Bill Clark: "I tell our guys all the time: 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction.'"
