He pitched 6 innings, giving up 6 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 4. David Hudson, credited with the save, is now 20 for 22 in save opportunities.

The Rainbow Mermaids got a big at-bat from catcher Arlen Joysey. For the game, Joysey went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 9th home run of the season gave Northern Virginia a 2-1 lead.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Joysey said.

Boston's current losing streak has reached 4 games.
