Screaming Eagles Rally For Late Win Over Sonics
The Mercer Island Screaming Eagles did just enough to secure a 6-5 victory over the Atlantic City Sonics at Mercer Island Grounds. Nobody did more than left fielder Jason Graham, who captured player of the game honors. Mercer Island reliever Luis Oropeza picked up the win, upping his record to 5-5. Magnus Belli was saddled with the loss. The losing skid has reached 8 games for Atlantic City.

The Screaming Eagles were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth when second baseman Terry John turned a 0-1 sinker from Magnus Belli into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent a roar through the crowd and gave Mercer Island a thrilling 6-5 win.

In comments to the Mercer Island Times, Graham admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."
