Gold Sox Win at Northern Virginia, 4-1
The Chicago Gold Sox picked up a win at Atlantica, knocking off the Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids, 4-1. Starting pitcher Ryunosuke Kurota played a key role in the triumph. Kurota, the winner, moves to 1-1. He threw 8 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 2 and giving up 4 walks. Esteban Jiménez was credited with the save for Chicago, his 2nd of the season.

In the top of the fifth inning, third baseman Shimei Miura came through big-time for the Gold Sox. With Chicago leading 1-0, he belted a 2-run home run.

Kurota told a Chicago Chronicle reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.

The Rainbow Mermaids fall to 5-8 and continue their lackluster start in 2034.
