Patriots Bang Out 7-5 Win Versus Northern Virginia
Boston first baseman Jorge Velázquez was a significant contributor in his team's 7-5 triumph over the Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Boston. Jesús Franco was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts. José Sánchez converted his 5th save in 6 tries.

Won-min Yi had a big run-scoring single for the Patriots in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Boston trailing 3-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a cutter from Ramón Molina and stroked the single to center. It was his 26th hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the Patriots ahead, 3-1.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Velázquez told the Boston Daily.

Boston has now won 3 straight, while the Rainbow Mermaids have lost 4 in a row.
