7 Straight Wins for Screaming Eagles
The Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks got a superb performance from pitcher Héctor García, but the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles still won the game, 5-3. García threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Mercer Island reliever Francisco Encarnación picked up the win, raising his record to 1-1. Dylan Ziersch was tagged with the loss. Aaron Houghton finished to wrap up his 1st save.

Mercer Island used the timely hitting of José Gonzáles to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Screaming Eagles on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I still think this team can play even better," Gonzáles told the Mercer Island Gazette.

The slumping Thunder Hawks have lost 9 straight.
