Pierogis Take Down Screaming Eagles, 5-4
Squirrel Hill third baseman Javier Ortega made his presence felt in the 5-4 Pierogis triumph over the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles. Ortega went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Cristo Bermúdez earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record is now 2-0. The Pierogis now have a record of 16-26 with the win over Mercer Island.

The Pierogis got a big boost from pinch hitter Fred Miller who had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning off Screaming Eagles hurler Aaron Houghton. It was his 4th RBI of the season and put Squirrel Hill on top, 5-4.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Miller.
