Yi Excels, But Screaming Eagles Win
The Mercer Island Screaming Eagles outlasted Hyun-jung Yi and the Billings Polar Bears, 11-9. Yi was impressive in the loss. The Billings shortstop was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Aaron Houghton notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 2-1. Jeff White was called on to finish, recording his 1st save.

Mercer Island used a clutch hit from Joey Pinches to snatch the win. The pinch hitter belted a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Screaming Eagles ahead, 10-9. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Screaming Eagles manager Ricardo Vargas. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."

With the victory, the Screaming Eagles upped their record to 56-37.
