Minnesota Win to Pull Even With Mercer Island
With second baseman César García leading the charge, the Minnesota Loons got a road win over the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles, 6-4, in Game 2 of the PL AA Championship today. García was 2 for 4 with a triple, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 at Mercer Island Grounds to help Minnesota force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-3 series.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Rodrigo Rodríguez to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Loons ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We played hard and won," said García. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The next game is set to be played for Thursday, September 24th , 2054 at Loony Bin in Blaine.
