Screaming Eagles Outmuscle Lake Minnetonka, 14-9
Behind a solid performance from designated hitter Ricardo Varela, the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles defeated the Lake Minnetonka Love Boats, 14-9. Varela was 3-6 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Screaming Eagles. Carlos Cardoso picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 3-0. Sean Mosley was tagged with the loss. The Screaming Eagles, at 51-30, lead by one game in their division.

Had Ryoichi Yoshida not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Yoshida hit a 2-run single. That made the score 11-9, in favor of the Screaming Eagles.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Screaming Eagles manager Richard Weaver. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
