Marshall Stars in 9-7 Loss to Cape Coral
Northern Virginia third baseman Richard Marshall was sensational. He was 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Cape Coral beat the Rainbow Mermaids, 9-7. Gordon Benjamin got the win, improving to 5-7. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 8 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 0. Victor Jones finished to wrap up his 11th save.

Cape Coral left fielder Kane Blackwood delivered a solo home run in the top of the third. Overall, he went 3 for 5, including 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and batted in 2.

Hurricanes manager Greg Diersing wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."

The 7th-place Hurricanes are 43-44.
