Rainbow Mermaids Deal Northern Lions BC 7-3 Defeat
The Northern Virginia Rainbow Mermaids beat the Thunder Bay Northern Lions BC, 7-3, at Great Northern Field. The win was due in part to left fielder Ed Ward, who went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was José Hernández. His record is now 2-0. The right-hander went 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits for the Rainbow Mermaids. Early on, the Rainbow Mermaids, at 11-2, have played an impressive brand of baseball.

Northern Virginia relied on the hitting of Skip Lee to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Rainbow Mermaids on top, 3-0. For the game, Lee had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"The hot tub feels extra good after a solid win," said Ward.
