The Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids saddled the Buckhead Bowties with a loss at 5 Paces Park. The final score was 7-2. Eric Cowart was 3 for 4, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The Northern Virginia center fielder scored 3 runs and drove in 1. Nick Cole, the winner, improved to 2-3. He held the Bowties to 2 runs on 5 hits over 7.1 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 1. Earning his 20th save for Northern Virginia was Russ T. Nayle.

Esteban Rojas was 1-3 with a double and a walk for Northern Virginia. The 32-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Uhi Ahipene. It was his 25th RBI of the season.

"Winning never gets dull," said Rojas.

Northern Virginia's record now stands at 41-42, placing them 6th in the Third League.
