Evergreens Get Close Win Over Rainbow Mermaids
In a low-scoring clash between Portland and Northern Virginia, pitcher Eric Matson was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned player of the game honors for Portland in the 3-2 win. The winning continues for Portland, with the latest making it 7 straight.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Billy Dotson came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Northern Virginia pitcher Yoriyoshi Sugimoto, he hit a 1-0 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Portland on top, 3-2.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Matson.
