Screaming Eagles Jolt Misfits with Late Rally
In a close game at Ricochets Ballpark, the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles edged the Salem Misfits, 5-4. Mercer Island second baseman Steve Irwin earned the nod as player of the game after he was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. At 48-37, the Screaming Eagles have a slim two-game lead in the Premier AA.

One important at-bat came with a runner on 1st in the top of the eighth. That's when Mike Russell hit a single. The Screaming Eagles went on to win.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Salem manager Bill Clark. "But we decided not to take it."
