Rainbow Mermaids Take Down Rocketeers, 4-3
The MSL Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids and MSL Seattle Rocketeers played an exciting game.

The MSL Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids faced a tough opponent in MSL Seattle pitcher Kantaro Suzuki, but did just enough to pull out the victory at MSL Northern Virginia Ballpark by a final score of 4-3. Suzuki went 5.1 innings and allowed no runs. Antoine Caron recorded his 1st save for MSL Northern Virginia.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Jack Schaefer came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing MSL Seattle pitcher Félix Vásquez, he hit a 1-2 curveball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting MSL Northern Virginia on top, 4-2.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said MSL Seattle manager Noriaki Okada. "But we decided not to take it."

The 6th-place Rocketeers have dropped 4 straight games.
