Thrilling Victory Pushes Screaming Eagles Win Streak to 5
The Mercer Island Screaming Eagles did just enough to secure a victory over the Virginia Beach Whales, 2-1, at Mercer Island Grounds. Nobody did more than pitcher Geoffrey Da Costa. The second-place Screaming Eagles sport a record of 30-18.

In the bottom of the ninth, with two out and the game tied, 1-1, first baseman Seppo Kimmonen won it for Mercer Island. With runners on 1st and 2nd, Kimmonen hit a 0-2 cutter from Shawn Walker for a run-scoring single, giving his team the 2-1 win.

"It's great when the crowd is energized," Kimmonen said.
