Road Win Lifts Mercer Island to 1-0 Lead in R1
The Mercer Island Screaming Eagles started the PL AA Championship in style today, winning on the road against the Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks at Thunder Hawks Ballpark by a score of 6-4 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Screaming Eagles left-hander Adrik Mihalushkin was named player of the game after he threw 5 innings of 3-hit ball.

A critical at-bat came in the top of the eighth inning when the Screaming Eagles sent 21-year-old first baseman Byron Ballard to the plate with a runner on 2nd. The youngster shook off the pressure and reached on an error by the SS, driving in 1 run, to put Mercer Island on top, 6-4.

"This was a good win for us," said Ballard. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow in Ft. Polk South. The scheduled starters for the game are Noah Walker for the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles and Ken Bates for the the Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks.
